Every time a new technology is developed and introduced to the market, there are always groups ready to adopt it, even at the early stages when the product is incomplete and the future uncertain. 

​

On the other hand, there are those who, for various reasons, vehemently reject the idea.

​

These are two extreme cases: the early adopters (13.5%) and the laggards (16%). Most people, however, fall somewhere in between these extremes. 

​

In fact, the majority of people will adopt the technology at an intermediate stage of its development. 

​

Some will adopt it earlier—referred to as the early majority (34%)—and others later, known as the late majority (34%).

​

Before these large groups, there is a minority: the innovators (2.5%), who create and initially use the new technology.

​

Regarding quantum computing, it has already moved past the innovators stage, with more people beginning to believe in its potential and adopting it. 

​

Among the innovators, we can include companies like IBM, Quantinuum, D-Wave, and IonQ, which are developing quantum hardware. 

​

In the early adopters group, we can mention financial institutions such as JPMorgan and HSBC and startups like Quantum Signals and Multiverse. 

​

Despite this, evidence shows that the vast majority of businesses are still reluctant to take action and start investing.

​

This reluctance explains why many leaders in the field—both individuals and small and large companies—devote significant time, energy, and budgets to promoting the potential benefits of quantum computing for businesses.
