roland legrand on 26 Sep 17"The most unexpected part of the Microsoft Ignite keynote was the panel discussion on Quantum Computing and the potential role for Microsoft to empower this next revolution in computing with a new programming language and qubit simulator that runs on Azure later this year. While Quantum Computing efforts are likely to be immaterial to the forecast over the next three-to-five years, the amount of airtime that Quantum Computing received at the opening keynote at Ignite showcases the longer-term aspirations for Microsoft to continue pushing the envelope of technology innovation, with an emphasis on mixed reality, AI, and quantum computing."
