Europe urged to treat data as most valuable raw material in innovation push

Finnish researchers have mapped out the technical roadblocks preventing quantum computers from revolutionising artificial intelligence, and identified the hardware and software breakthroughs needed to overcome them. Whilst the technology could unlock $2 trillion in value by 2035, critical challenges in data transfer and qubit stability must first be solved.
