This is an audacious statement that avails the dramatic development of quantum technology and its ability to impact industries. Ongoing battles of technological giants towards utilization of quantum power; Google is never left behind. If brought into reality, such change could redefine sectors like cybersecurity, pharmaceutical supply, and [artificial intelligence](https://www.mindstick.com/services/artificial-intelligence), as well as defining how computation handles such sectors in the digital age. ## Highlights - Google foresees [quantum computing](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12712/what-are-the-potential-dangers-of-quantum-computing)'s commercial viability within five years. - Quantum technology could transform industries like finance and healthcare. - Cybersecurity and drug discovery are key focus areas for quantum applications. - Significant strides in error correction bring [quantum computers](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/335434/discuss-the-10-most-important-uses-of-quantum-computers) closer to reality. - Industry experts predict a new era of unparalleled computational power. ## Quantum Computing’s Commercial Future Google’s timeline indicates increasing optimism in the use of quantum error correction which is an important factor as regards implementation of real and practical uses. Error correction is an attempt to overcome the major problems that contribute to the instability of quantum computing. In the future, once it works stably, quantum computers can solve problems much more complex than those of classical computers. To recommence, this achievement will [revolutionize business](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/82566/azure-services-revolutionize-business-processes) fields such as manufacturing, transport, cognitive science, and [materials science](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/158155/what-is-the-role-of-materials-science-in-aerospace-engineering). ## Implications for Cybersecurity Hailed as the future of faster computing, quantum computing has the ability to break through the current encryption method. This however is a challenge to classical cryptography but at the same time creates opportunities for quantum-safe security solutions. [Recent developments](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/113727/what-are-the-recent-developments-in-global-climate-change-policies-and-their-impacts) show that firms have shifted their focus in the cybersecurity practices since companies are trying to implement encryption techniques that cannot be attacked with the help of quantum computers. The future years will be fruitful in terms of checking the industry’s flexibility. ## Driving Innovation in Drug Discovery It is interesting to note that the field of drug discovery is expected to reap the gains of quantum computing. [Quantum](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/336180/what-is-google-s-new-quantum-computer) Simulations are capable of powerful modeling of Molecular interaction that cannot be achieved in [classical computing](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/99769/what-is-quantum-computing-and-how-does-it-differ-from-classical-computing) systems. This could lead to further development of effective treatment and cure for various diseases. It is not surprising that [pharmaceutical companies](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/37833/how-can-we-encourage-pharmaceutical-companies-to-target-orphan-diseases) are getting ready to take quantum computing seriously, in an attempt to cut drug development time and costs. --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/4328/google-predicts-commercial-quantum-computing-applications-within-five-years Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
