How is quantum computing helping with climate change?

Quantum computing has officially moved from theory to real-world impact and it’s far more energy-efficient than most people realize. Mark Jackson, senior quantum evangelist at Quantinuum, explains that today’s quantum machines can operate using roughly the power of 17 hairdryers while outperforming classical computers.

While quantum computing will not magically reverse climate change, it can significantly reduce energy consumption, accelerate carbon capture research and enable complex chemistry modeling that may help slow climate damage.

Alongside Mark’s insights, Equinix leaders Glenn Dekhayser and Petrina Steele, Théau Peronnin, CEO of Alice & Bob, and John Martinis, Nobel Prize–winning physicist and co-founder of Qolab, explore a powerful reality: quantum computing is no longer a future promise: it’s here, it’s real, and it’s enterprise-ready.

FAQs:

Q: How does quantum computing help reduce energy consumption?
A: Quantum computing is inherently energy-efficient, with machines like the Helios using the power equivalent of 17 hairdryers compared to traditional computing’s astronomical energy needs.

Q: Why is quantum computing important for combating climate change?
A: Quantum computing enables innovative solutions to climate challenges, offering energy efficiency and advancing technologies like carbon capture to mitigate environmental impact.

Q: What is the energy efficiency of the Helios quantum machine?
A: The Helios machine uses the power equivalent of 17 hairdryers, making it incomparably more energy-efficient than traditional computing systems.

Q: How is quantum chemistry contributing to sustainability?
A: Quantum chemistry is being applied to solve complex problems like carbon capture, using advanced materials such as MOFs to reverse climate change effects.
