Quantum computing is often described as the next frontier, a technology that could solve problems beyond the reach of today's computers. But how close are we to seeing real-world applications, and what does it mean for investors?

In this episode of Silicon Valley Bite Size, Mike Seidenberg, lead manager of Allianz Technology Trust, explores the opportunities and challenges surrounding quantum computing. He discusses how quantum differs from traditional computing, the potential applications across areas such as financial modelling, weather forecasting and cybersecurity, and why commercial viability remains the key question for investors.

Mike also examines the engineering hurdles that still need to be overcome, the implications for encryption and security, and why investors should focus on companies with a credible path to commercialisation rather than simply the most exciting technology.

Listen now to discover why quantum computing could be one of the most transformative technologies of the coming decades, and why investors should remain focused on execution as much as innovation.
