Chemicals and advanced materialsreadiness. Use cases relating to security can be piloted in the nearer term than quantum computing. 3. Begin implementing pilotable quantum sensing use cases such as high-precision medical imaging (use case 5), quantum enhanced diagnostic imaging (use case 7) and detection of cardiovascular diseases (use case 4) today, and apply the same techniques for detection of Parkinson’s disease and foetal arrhythmia for future implementation. These pilots offer high feasibility and business value, allowing organizations to lead in early diagnostics and precision medicine. Immediate deployment of these pilots will enhance healthcare outcomes and lend a competitive edge to early adopters. Decision-makers should start executing quantum technology projects to ensure the evolution of the R&D departments and the completion of industry digitalization. More customized treatments and better patient monitoring (customer-centricity) are key aspects of this evolution. This balanced approach will allow decision-makers to strategically manage resources across emerging and proven quantum technologies.
