Abstract
AbstractThe narrative around quantum computing is evolving quickly. First reports of quantum computers able to solve certain scientific problems on-par with the precision of High-Performance Computers are persuading end-users and industry leaders to shift from passive observation to active exploration. Insights are provided here to enable organization and technology leaders in the database and data science community an entry into the field of quantum computing. This article provides an introduction of key concepts, insights into the rapid advancement of the state-of-the-art, an overview of how companies in Germany are approaching the development of competency and adoption of quantum computing, including an overview of European activities and learning materials in the German language.
