Arthur D. Little Launches Blue Shift Reports, Addresses Business Potential of Quantum Computing

Arthur D. Little (ADL) has published Unleashing The Business Potential Of Quantum Computing, the first in a series of new reports from the company running under the ‘Blue Shift’ banner. These reports will explore the impact of technologies on business, society and humans, covering relevant topics in depth and inviting guest authors, academics and artists to contribute to the conversation.

Unleashing The Business Potential Of Quantum Computing looks at the use cases for quantum computing (QC) as it develops and becomes commercially available.

QC promises to transform business by tackling intractable problems which are currently beyond the abilities of conventional high-performance computers. Potential QC-driven solutions include fully digitalized drug discovery and new materials development through to logistics, supply chain management, and portfolio optimization.

However, while there has been a major acceleration of development activity and investment in QC over the last few years, the path towards maturity is uncertain. QC technology is complex and hard for most people to properly understand, and there are still huge challenges to overcome.

This Blue Shift report from ADL aims to provide a clear overview of the state of play in QC for business readers unfamiliar with the domain, sharing not just potential use cases and applications, but also technology development, including hardware and software, and highlighting key players active in the QC ecosystem. It also provides a realistic perspective on the likelihood and possible timescales for the commercialization of QC.

In addition, the report sets out the steps that companies should take to prepare for the QC future, including exploring applicability, monitoring technical developments, engaging with the ecosystem, and building knowledge and capability.

Dr. Albert Meige, Director of Blue Shift at Arthur D. Little, comments: “Given the current state of play in QC, we recommend that companies take steps now to understand it, as once the technology starts to mature, those that have no internal capability could be especially disadvantaged. It is only by being prepared now that companies can avoid being left behind if and when QC properly takes off.”

Enterprise AI Hits the Wall: NTT DATA Research Reveals Growing Privacy and Sovereignty Barriers14.5.2026 14:00:00 CEST | Press release

Demands for privacy and sovereignty expose limits of architectures built for centralized and borderless data flows. Data jurisdiction has become a core design parameter, shifting away from globally integrated systems to regionally bounded architectures. Organizations that redesign early are gaining a measurable edge in AI readiness and scale. NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, today released new research showing that enterprise AI is outgrowing the architecture and infrastructure beneath it as data privacy and sovereignty requirements tighten. The research finds a widening split between enterprises that are redesigning AI for control, locality and security, and organizations still layering AI into environments that were not built to support these requirements. For years, enterprise architecture moved data across systems, clouds, applications and borders with increasing speed and efficiency. AI is exposing the limits of that model. Sensitive data
