Quantum computing may be the future of most high-end data centers. This is because as the demand to intelligently process a growing volume of online data grows so the limits of silicon chip microprocessors are increasingly going to be reached. Sooner it will also become impossible to miniaturize traditional computing components further and hence to continue to achieve increase in computer power. Intel's latest microprocessors are based on an industrial process that can produce transistors only 22 nanometers wide. Further advancements in this technology are still possible but at some point miniaturization will come to its physical limit as transistors only a few atoms in size will not be able to function.
One of the major application area for quantum computing will be in the processing of Big Data. As the volume of digital data produced on this Planet continues to grow exponentially therefore a significant potential exists to generate business and social value interlink age with various technologies like Hadoop are currently permitting advancements in the processing of vast data sets. It may well be the development of quantum computers that really pushes large-scale Big Data analysis into the mainstream.
