When quantum computing were available at the edge, there will not exist any more token economy. It will be possible to run frontier models in a laptop, guaranteeing sovereign AI and the control on the data and communications. And this will enable a lot of new business use cases and accelerate existing ones.
Quantum is not suitable for every problem, but it can provide an advantage in mathematical optimization and AI. Some orchestration challenges, such as aFRR and mFRR, still rely on approximations. Quantum could support faster coordination between TSOs, generators and demand, simplifying grid balancing and improving operational robustness.
Computing has repeatedly shifted between centralized and decentralized models. Quantum could bring high computing capacity closer to the edge, supporting complex mathematical optimization and GenAI without relying entirely on centralized infrastructure.
Physical AI still depends heavily on connectivity and cybersecurity. Quantum computing could support more autonomous machines, from robots maintaining critical infrastructure to autonomous systems operating large industrial assets.
Advanced analytics and rapid decision-making are still concentrated in firms with large IT budgets. Quantum could widen access to these capabilities and accelerate data driven trading, with autonomous systems reviewing positions and correcting decisions within seconds.
Quantum could analyze market inputs, business impacts and physical constraints in near real time. This could support global asset optimization, high-frequency trading decisions, grid-flow management and lower renewable-energy curtailment.
