(MENAFN) Quantum computers are projected to enter the commercial market during the 2030s, fueled by rapid technological progress such as Google’s Willow processor, which a Turkish industry representative described as a “promising turning point in the scientific world.”

Murat Canturk, CEO of Turkish cloud infrastructure company ComPro, stated that quantum technology has the potential to transform multiple sectors by tackling problems that traditional computers cannot, leveraging principles like superposition and quantum entanglement for applications in fields including fluid dynamics, pharmaceutical research, and next-generation material development.

Canturk explained that quantum machines can accomplish in minutes what would take classical computers billions of years. “In aviation, quantum computers will enable the design of complex airflow models with perfect accuracy, from wing profiles to body aerodynamics, and it will reduce the time needed to design aircraft from years to months, while in smart drug and innovative material design, they will accelerate the discovery of new drugs and next-generation materials by modeling molecular interactions at the atomic level,” he said.

He noted that the aviation and defense industries are likely to see the earliest benefits. “Aerodynamic optimization, fuel efficiency calculations, and turbulence models will see a breakthrough, while the health care sector will see protein folding simulations and smart drug molecules.”

Canturk also emphasized the impact on data security. “In crypto security, quantum computing will enable quantum-resistant encryption algorithms to make it so that existing encryption keys can’t be decrypted,” he said.

According to reports, major technology firms around the world, including Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Amazon, have poured billions into quantum research, while countries like China and the United States have dedicated substantial public funding to secure national advantages.

Canturk highlighted Google’s Willow chip, unveiled in December 2024, which recently achieved the first verified quantum supremacy using its “Quantum Echoes” algorithm. “Willow can analyze molecular structures with calculations 13,000 times faster than supercomputers,” he said.
