Portugal should not wait for quantum computing. It must prepare for it now
In recent years, quantum computing has moved beyond being merely an academic research topic to become part of the technological strategies of governments, universities, and companies worldwide. However, there is a significant gap between technological development and the practical preparation of organizations to adopt this emerging technology. The article warns that Portugal cannot simply wait for quantum computing to mature, but must begin actively preparing for its arrival. Governments, universities, and companies are including quantum computing in their technological strategies, which demonstrates the growing relevance of this field globally. Early preparation is presented as essential so that Portugal does not fall behind other countries in the technological race associated with this computational revolution.
