Technologies To Watch In 2023

Start of a new year is always an exciting time. It holds a lot of promise-and a lot of surprises too! The world of tech is no different. At the start of each year, trend watchers all over the world get busy predicting the fate of emerging technologies. Here is our list of technologies that experts feel we must watch in 2023.

Quantum computing

Quantum leaps, that is what we saw in the past year, in quantum computing. And the trend is set to continue. IBM recently unveiled its new 433-qubit Osprey processor, more than tripling the computing capacity of its predecessor, Eagle. The 1,121-qubit Condor processor is slated for release this year. They are also developing ways to link processors together into a modular system capable of scaling without physical limitations.

Interestingly, companies are also looking beyond superconducting qubits, and other hardware platforms for quantum computing, like ion-traps, cold atoms, and photonic cluster states are also gaining traction. These are very different approaches, and according to experts we interviewed, they have the potential to yield application-specific quantum processing units (QPUs) in the near term. QCI, IonQ, Xanadu, and Honeywell have all developed quantum processors with such alternative technologies.

Interestingly, quantum computing is also getting democratised with such computing resources being available as-aservice through easy-to-use platforms that even those without deep knowledge of quantum information science can use to solve complex mathematical challenges. Development in quantum technology will lead to fantastic leaps in fields like materials engineering, drug discovery, understanding of chemical processes (battery development), climate modelling, financial analysis, and cryptography (security).
