12.1 Ecosystem and community
‘‘Ecosystem’’ is an overused and often vague word regarding groups of people who have some connection to an activity. I now try to be more precise in describing what I consider the breadth of the quantum computing ecosystem. I touched upon some parts of the ecosystem above, especially in the education section.
The goal of the ecosystem is to reach Quantum Advantage, the point where quantum computing can do significantly better than classical computing on important problems for business, science, and government.
For the sections that follow, think about what role or roles you have or want to have in the quantum computing ecosystem and then answer those questions relevant to you.
- What role or roles do you play in the quantum computing ecosystem are you?
- Algorithm developer
- Business development / sales
- Business or technology executive
- Business partner...
