Utilities face sensing, optimisation and security problems that may stretch conventional approaches. The imperative is to identify where quantum capabilities can create operational value, while protecting critical workflows and avoiding scale before the technology and business case are ready.
A measured quantum-readiness path helps utilities learn where value is credible and build the foundations to act when maturity catches up.
Prioritise sensing, optimisation and security use cases against reliability, safety, productivity, resilience and customer value.
Build visibility of cryptographic exposure and prepare governance for a post-quantum operating environment.
Move from controlled trials to decisions through defined permissions, validation, fallback mechanisms and operational KPIs.
Develop skills, data foundations and ecosystem relationships that can extend across sites, asset classes and business units.
NTTデータのサポート体制は?
Assess use cases across G&R and T&D, connecting quantum potential to a clear operational decision and measurable value.

Connect authorised operational, asset and enterprise data with the reliable connectivity needed to contextualise signals around physical assets and processes.

Apply contextual analytics, automation or intelligence at the right point in the architecture, then integrate outputs into existing operational workflows.

Define permissions, cyber controls, validation, human oversight and fallback mechanisms that reflect the risk of each critical infrastructure use case.

Move from controlled experiments using measurable operational KPIs, building reusable capabilities, skills and ecosystem readiness before broader adoption.


Progress can be measured before broad deployment, from faster assessment cycles to stronger readiness coverage and clearer cryptographic visibility.
Indicative objectives from the source provide a practical scorecard for moving from exploration to investment decisions. Actual results depend on baseline performance, infrastructure characteristics, process maturity and deployment scope.
Target a 20–40% reduction in the time required to assess priority quantum use cases.
Aim for a 20–50% increase in coverage across the capabilities, assets and processes included in the readiness scope.
Make a significant improvement in crypto inventory visibility to support post-quantum planning.
Target a 15–30% reduction in the time from controlled experiment to an informed go, adapt or stop decision..
Identify the infrastructure decisions where better sensing or security readiness could matter most, then shape a governed path from use case to evidence.
