History

Historical Context

In 1998, Lov Grover demonstrated the first quantum algorithm, a breakthrough that catalyzed significant investments in quantum computing from companies like IBM and Google. This innovation built on early 20th-century quantum theories by Max Planck and Albert Einstein, which established the quantization of energy. Today, European firms like QuiX Quantum and Q.ANT are advancing quantum technologies, promising transformative impacts on AI and secure communications.
