CEOs who aren't yet preparing forquantum are 'already too late,' IBM exec says

Honestly, I don't see the urgency here. Yes, quantum algorithms give speed-ups in specific problems, but very few people are doing those kinds of problem: Most businesses that need an efficiency boost are people who accidentally did O(n^2) instead of O(n) (I've seen this IRL), or who should index their database so search is O(log(n)) instead of O(n); very few are doing e.g. a travelling salesman with big-n and need to care about the approximate classical algorithm being only a few percent from optimal.
