Quantum computing are machines that take advantage of the ability of subatomic particles to exist in more than one state at any time. Due to how the particles behave, operations can be done much more quickly and using less energy than classical computers.

So, what does this mean for your business?

Organisations should view quantum computing as a competitive advantage. New quantum-inspired algorithms will bring innovative solutions and approaches to product development. In addition, quantum computing can reduce time to market and optimise customer delivery.

On the flip side, quantum computing poses a significant risk to organisations. Researchers have shown how quantum computing could kill—or at least significantly weaken—current cryptography systems. A quantum computer will instantly render today’s security systems obsolete and break the encryption of sensitive data protected by such security systems. This puts your organisation’s data, intellectual property (IP, patents, customer information, and data) at risk. Any information shared on public channels now or in the future will become vulnerable. For industries such as financial services and healthcare with significant regulatory requirements for data privacy and security, quantum will have a significant business, legal, and ethical impact.

Example areas of risk include:

  • Protecting government and military communications
  • Securing financial and banking transactions
  • Assuring the confidentiality of medical data and healthcare records
  • Safeguarding the storage of personal data in the cloud
  • Restricting access to confidential corporate networks

Post-Quantum encryption—new capabilities and algorithms that are resistant to attacks by both classical and quantum computers—to keep information assets secure even after a large-scale quantum computer is available, is underway.

Leading organisations such as the Chicago Quantum Exchange are advancing research and education in the science and engineering of quantum information.

While quantum may still be several years away, organisations need to take steps to prepare today. Our quantum computing services are helping organisations with Post-Quantum Risk Assessments, Readiness workshops, and planning quantum road maps.

Key steps you should take today:

  1. Select a quantum champion
  2. Conduct a post-quantum readiness workshop
  3. Identify quantum computing use cases, value to your organisation, and potential risks
  4. Chart a quantum course and multi-year road map.
  5. Start your journey and re-assess the road map every 6-12 months. Update the plan based on new quantum computing discoveries and developments, as well as changes in your business and industry.
  6. Be prepared and flexible!

Quantum computing will revolutionise work

Quantum computing’s influence on the way we work in the future likely will occur in waves. The initial shift will be subtle, although that surge will quickly give way to more substantial changes. Once a critical mass of quantum solutions and progress has been achieved, workforces, organisations and industries will experience profound transformations.

Frequently asked questions

+ EXPAND ALL

What is quantum computing?

+

Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum mechanics to solve complex, real-world problems. Traditional computers rely on binary bits (0s and 1s). Quantum computers represent more information by using quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in a superposition of multiple states.

These capabilities enable quantum systems to run specialised algorithms that can solve certain problems significantly faster than classical computers and unlock use cases that were previously not possible.

Why should your business care about quantum computing?

+

Quantum computing is not just a theoretical concept, it presents both opportunity and risk for organisations in the UK and globally. As quantum technologies improve, businesses can leverage them to gain competitive advantage in areas such as financial modelling, materials science and logistics optimisation.

At the same time, quantum computing poses a growing threat to existing encryption methods, increasing the need to adopt Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Understanding both the opportunities and risks is critical to remaining competitive.

How can quantum computing boost your organisation?

+

Forward-thinking organisations in the UK are already exploring quantum computing to unlock new capabilities. In selected use cases, quantum algorithms can accelerate product development, reduce costs and enhance customer experiences.

Early investment in quantum initiatives enables organisations to build expertise and competitive advantage as the technology matures and adoption expands across industries.

How can your business get ready for quantum computing?

+

Preparing for quantum computing starts with strategy and education. Organisations should appoint a quantum champion, run readiness workshops and assess where quantum computing may create value or introduce risk.

Protiviti works with UK organisations to conduct post-quantum risk assessments, identify priority use cases and develop tailored roadmaps, including preparation for migration to PQC. This helps organisations stay ahead of emerging risks and opportunities.

What does a quantum consultant do?

+

A quantum consultant helps organisations identify high-value quantum use cases, assess post-quantum security risks, shape quantum strategy and support the delivery of quantum-enabled IT capabilities to drive long-term value.

What are the biggest benefits and risks of adopting quantum computing?

+

Benefits:

Quantum computing can deliver faster insights, advanced analytics, optimised processes and innovative solutions across industries such as financial services, healthcare and manufacturing.

Risks:

Quantum computing introduces data security risks, may disrupt existing systems and creates new regulatory and compliance challenges. Quantum consulting helps organisations manage these risks while capturing value responsibly.
