Like the hapless tramps in Samuel Becketts play Waiting for Godot, the world has been waiting not for the mysterious Godot, but for quantum computing, which is much anticipated but has yet to arrive. But while the ghostly Godot never does show up, quantum is beginning to materialize.

Its about time. Global powers, led by China, have invested more than $55 billion in the promising technology and we are closer than ever to realizing the $500 million to $1 billion in gains that quantum promises to deliver to businesses over the next fifteen years. The quantum market is already estimated to be worth more than $1 billion this year, even though quantum computers are not yet very useful.

In Europe, Germany has launched an investment plan of more than $3 billion by 2026, and France has announced an investment of nearly $2 billion, aiming to train 5,000 quantum-ready engineers and create 30,000 jobs. In the United States, the National Quantum Initiative Act has authorized $1.2 billion in funding over five years for quantum computing research and development.

What are we talking about? Computers that could be a billion times faster than conventional computers for solving certain complex problems.

Classical computers, such as the one youre likely reading this article on now, rely on binary bits to store and process information as strings of zeros and ones. But quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in a superposition of states, allowing for an exponential number of simultaneous combinations of zeros and ones. Dont bother trying to visualize this - no one has ever seen a qubit. Its all math.

Nonetheless, this superposition can be measured, enabling quantum computers to perform complex computations at an exponential speed.

Several technologies at the boundaries of current physics are being tried to make this work: superconductivity, neutral atoms, trapped ions, and photonics.

Are they used in businesses? Not yet. At this stage, quantum supremacy, meaning that a quantum computer is more efficient than a conventional computer, has only been established for algorithms without truly useful applications, such as verifying that a die is not loaded (Google, 2019).

But progress in developing quantum computing has been steady, and many people believe quantum computers will be a practical reality within a few years. IBM, the leader in quantum computing hardware, predicts that quantum computers will outperform classical computers in specific tasks by 2027.

Quantum supremacy is expected to first materialize for "native" quantum problems, which lend themselves particularly well to quantum modeling. They fall into four categories: modeling physicochemical reactions to discover innovative materials, new proteins, and future drugs; optimizing complex systems to improve flow management or the design and engineering of complex systems; generating synthetic data to train AI models; and finally, cryptography.

So, is it too early for businesses to be building their quantum muscle? Absolutely not. It takes time to build a team that understands how to use the burgeoning technology, and the future will belong to those who can harness the power of quantum computing early.

Banks, hedge funds, and car manufacturers are recruiting specialized quantum teams. They are tackling the construction of algorithms coded in qubits for their strategic applications. They are forming partnerships with quantum computer manufacturers - IBM, Atos, Pasqal - and academic research centers. These companies will be ready for the day when manufacturers offer sufficiently powerful machines. The aim is to increase the number of high-quality qubits and reduce error rates, eventually multiplying the power of the best current prototypes by a thousand.

The first challenge will be cybersecurity: with quantum supremacy, many of our security devices will become instantly obsolete. Businesses should start now to shift to quantum-hardened encryption technologies. The American National Institute of Standardization and Technology (NIST) is working on developing and standardizing post-quantum cryptographic algorithms and plans to impose a schedule for using encryption solutions capable of resisting quantum attacks.

But quantum computing has the potential to help mankind solve some of its biggest problems - mitigating climate change, for example, by accelerating the development of new materials for carbon capture, more efficient catalysts for hydrogen production, better batteries for electric vehicles, and optimized power grids that can handle renewable energy sources.

Quantum computing is also expected to accelerate drug discovery, enabling the development of personalized medicines and more effective treatments for diseases. And quantum algorithms could be used to optimize logistics and supply chain management, reducing fuel consumption and increasing efficiency. The list goes on.

AI can complement and enhance quantum computing, helping to develop error correction techniques for quantum hardware, for example, one of the main barriers to practical quantum computers. Quantum computers, meanwhile, can simulate complex natural processes, like the behavior of molecules or weather systems, much more accurately than regular computers.

Scientists collect relatively small amounts of data from experiments with such natural processes, but this isn't always enough to train AI models effectively. Quantum computing is expected to be able to generate additional, high-quality data to fill in the gaps, making the simulations more accurate and reliable. This, in turn, can help AI make more precise predictions about natural phenomena.

And quantum computing can generate synthetic data to train generative AI models when real-world data is scarce or difficult to obtain. While GenAI does not directly use quantum algorithms, hybrid algorithms that combine classical and quantum computing can leverage the strengths of both computing paradigms, potentially leading to more powerful and efficient AI models.

And if quantum doesn't come? In Beckett's play, when Estragon asks this question to Vladimir, the wise vagabond replies: "We'll come back tomorrow." Businesses will do the same and remain busy with generative AIs.

Here Are Five Steps That Business Leaders Can Start Implementing Today

Working with quantum computing requires deep expertise, including quantum software developers and quantum hardware engineers who can design and optimize quantum circuits and algorithms for specific business applications. Quantum computing will initially augment rather than replace classical computing, so quantum teams will also need traditional software developers who can integrate quantum solutions with existing classical systems. And companies will need people who can translate complex business problems into quantum algorithms.

Since quantum computing is still an emerging field, companies will need to collaborate with academic institutions, technology providers, and quantum research organizations to keep up with the latest advancements and integrate cutting-edge solutions. Building a multidisciplinary team with these areas of expertise takes planning and time. While this may not be something smaller companies can undertake, large companies should start now. Because quantum computing is a new computing paradigm, hiring and developing talent capable of harnessing it in conjunction with company domain expertise will be the winning combination. But quantum scientists and engineers will be in short supply when quantum advantage will trigger interest, not dissimilar to what happened in AI in 2015 and GenAI now.

Companies need to identify and develop specific quantum use cases that align with their business goals. This involves exploring how quantum computing can solve industry-specific problems, such as molecular modeling in pharmaceuticals or portfolio optimization in finance. Conducting proof-of-concept projects and pilot studies ahead of time will help refine these use cases and demonstrate their potential value.

Companies will need to implement post-quantum cryptographic algorithms (PQC) to secure data and communications. The National Institute of Standards and Technology has been developing these algorithms designed to withstand quantum threats. Companies large and small should track these developments and start integrating PQC algorithms into their security frameworks to ensure their encryption is hardened against quantum computer attacks.

Companies should begin forging strategic partnerships with quantum technology providers, research institutions, and other industry players. These alliances will facilitate knowledge sharing, accelerate innovation, and ensure access to the latest advancements.

Navigating the regulatory landscape is crucial for the successful adoption of quantum computing. Quantum computing is considered by governments as dual-use technology and critical for national security and competitiveness. Transitioning away from RSA to PQC protocols will a massive undertaking on a scale larger than the Y2K bug. Business leaders should stay informed about emerging regulations, mandates and standards.

Preparing for quantum computing is not a one-time effort but an ongoing commitment. It requires vision, strategic foresight, and a willingness to invest in the future. The rewards, however, will be immense for those who are prepared.

Field Day to Focus on Transitioning to Organic Poultry Production - Morning Ag Clips -

Check out what's clicking on FoxBusiness.com

A study conducted by Consumer Reports discovered that two popular brands of kids' snacks contain elevated levels of lead, though federal standards have not been set on heavy metal levels in many baby foods.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has only set limits on heavy metals in infant rice cereal and juice, though it is working to put standards in place for other categories of baby foods.

The owner of Lead Safe Mama, Tamara Rubin, published a story on her website about LesserEvil and Serenity Kids products containing lead.

Rubins company focuses on preventing lead poisoning while also raising awareness for parents about sources of lead exposure. For example, she sounded the alarm on Stanley tumblers, which were found to contain lead.

More recently, Rubin found that cassava-based snacks like Serenity Kids puffs contained high levels of lead, leading Consumer Reports to test four cassava products from LesserEvil and Serenity Kids as well as two products from Once Upon a Farm that contained sorghum.

The study found that LesserEvils Lil Puffs Intergalactic Voyager Veggie Blend puffs contained "more lead per serving than any of the 80 baby foods" Consumer Reports has tested since 2017.

Specifically, the test found the lead content was 112% of the maximum allowable dose levels (MADLs) established by California Proposition 65.

James E. Rogers, Ph.D., head of food safety testing at Consumer Reports, said kids should consume less than half of a serving of the Intergalactic Voyager Veggie Blend puffs per day.

Consumer Reports also found LesserEvils Lil Puffs Sweet Potato Apple Asteroid and Serenity Kids Tomato & Herb, Bone Broth puffs also contained high levels of lead.

HY-VEE RECALLING MULTIPLE ITEMS, CITING SALMONELLA CONTAMINATION RISK

Consumer Reports showed in its report what an actual serving looks like for kids eating snack puffs. (Consumer Reports Website)

LesserEvils Asteroid puffs contained lead levels at 60% of the MADLs, while Serenity Kids Tomato & Herbs contained lead levels at 53%.

Based on these levels, Rogers recommended children be given 1 servings of puffs, at the most, per day.

Rogers warned that the serving sizes of the puffs are smaller than people may realize. According to Consumer Reports, a single serving of Intergalactic Voyager Veggie Blend is 17 puffs, while the Serenity Kids puffs are sold in a 1 ounce container with six servings.

The Once Upon a Farm products tested had "very low" levels of lead, Consumer Reports said, accounting for some of the lowest levels of all the baby food they have ever tested.

"Clearly, some manufacturers need to do a better job of keeping heavy metals out of their snack foods, and there may be some particular concerns about foods made with cassava," Rogers said.

Rogers acknowledged that the FDA recently proposed limits on lead and other heavy metals in some categories of baby food. But he also noted that snack foods were not one of the categories being looked at for lead regulations.

"The agency needs to take a hard look at the snacks parents feed their children and make sure they dont have dangerous levels of lead and other contaminants," he said.

Caitlin Mack, the brand marketing director at LesserEvil, told FOX Business its products adhere to current regulatory requirements.

"LesserEvil was built on a mission to create better, cleaner, more natural products than the highly processed and refined snacks that overtook grocery store shelves for years," she said. "We are proud of the best-in-class products we've put on shelves, which all meet GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) standards and federal regulations for organic products. Food safety is a top priority, and we conduct extensive testing for all LesserEvil products that complies with California Prop 65 and federal standards."

Jennie Shen, director of brand marketing for Serenity Kids, told FOX Business its puffs have always been safe for consumption.

"All of our products test well below the maximum allowable dose levels established by California Proposition 65," Shen said. "We have always addressed lead and all heavy metals head-on because we are confident in the safety of our products and ingredients, and because we believe that our products are healthier than the alternatives that exist today."

Like Consumer Reports, Shen said the FDA does not have standards and benchmarks regulating heavy metals in all baby food segments. Instead, the agency only provides drafted guidance on the matter.

Without those standards, she said Serenity Kids sought out its own standards and holds all products to the California Prop 65 exposure thresholds for heavy metals, which are some of the lowest published levels in the U.S.

"Our puffs are completely safe to consume and are compliant with applicable regulations like Prop 65 for heavy metals in the United States based on the recommended serving size," Shen said.

She also explained that heavy metals like lead are prevalent in the food system.

The Serenity Kids puffs contain cassava, which Consumer Reports said has been shown through tests to contain high levels of lead. Similarly, other root vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots and beets also contain elevated levels of lead.

Angelia Seyfferth, Ph.D., in the department of plant and soil sciences at the University of Delaware, told Consumer Reports that lead can occur naturally in soil or end up there from pollution. The lead can accumulate in a plants roots but not move very well beyond the root, she said.

Cassava can also be processed into flour and baked into snack foods, making the lead levels more concentrated.

Shen explained that the Serenity Kids products contain whole food ingredients, so they have a state-of-the-art quality program and testing protocols. For example, they test all of their products and work with suppliers who use remediation methods to find foods with the lowest achievable levels of contaminants, then prioritize them for babies, she said.

"We also carefully vet all of our suppliers to ensure we are using the cleanest possible ingredients so that we can feel good about the safety of our foods," Shen said. "We have always addressed lead and all heavy metals head-on because we are confident in the safety of our products and ingredients, and because we believe that our products are healthier than the alternatives that exist today."

Nasdaq-listed medical manufacturer Semler Scientific which made headlines last month for adding Bitcoin (BTC) to its treasury has bought another $17 million worth of the asset and may raise up to $150 million to buy more.

The firms latest Bitcoin purchase was revealed in an S-3 filing to the United States securities regulator on June 6. After making its first 581 Bitcoin purchase on May 28, it now holds 828 Bitcoin, worth over $58.5 million.

Semler isnt wasting too much time, either. It announced that it can raise an additional $150 million of debt securities, with a portion of the proceeds used to buy more Bitcoin.

We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered under this prospectus primarily for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin, the firm wrote.

In a June 6 statement, the firms CEO, Doug Murphy-Chutorian, said Semlers Bitcoin investment strategy has become the firms other top-line priority alongside its healthcare business.

Bitcoin, now Semslers primary treasury reserve asset, can serve as a reasonable inflation hedge and safe haven amid global instability, the firm said in its SEC filing.

We also believe that its digital, architectural resilience makes it preferable to gold, which has a market value that greatly exceeds the market value of bitcoin, Semler said. Given the gap in value between gold and bitcoin, we believe that bitcoin has the potential to generate outsize returns as it gains increasing acceptance as digital gold.

The firm iterated that it has no plans to purchase cryptocurrency assets other than bitcoin.

Semlers (SMLR) stock spiked 30% on news of its May 28 purchase. However, it wasnt able to pop this time around, falling 2.5% to $29.13 on June 6, Google Finance data shows.

Japan-based investment firm Metaplanet is another firm that has followed MicroStrategys Bitcoin playbook.

It first bought $6.5 million of Bitcoin on April 8 and has bought multiple purchases since, totaling 117.7 Bitcoin or $8.3 million at current prices.

Metaplanets last Bitcoin purchase on May 22 contributed to its being the best-performing stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange for two consecutive days.

Semler Scientific now holds 828 Bitcoin and has $150M plan to buy more - Cointelegraph

A key technical chart pattern suggests that Bitcoins (BTC) price could be headed to the $85,000 mark, but the worlds first cryptocurrency needs a weekly close above $71,300 to confirm more upward momentum.

Technical analysis using the Wyckoff method points to a potential Bitcoinprice breakout to the $85,000 mark, according to crypto analyst Mikybull.

The analyst wrote in a June 6 X post to his 67,000 followers:

Wyckoff accumulation is a classic technical analysis setup named after Richard Wyckoff, a technical analysis pioneer in the first half of the 20th century who broke down the market cycle into four distinct phases.

Meanwhile, to confirm more upward momentum, Bitcoin needs to perform a weekly close above the $71,300 mark, according to popular crypto analyst Rekt Capital.

The analyst explained in a June 5 YouTube video:

However, Bitcoins price may need to cool down based on a key technical indicator seen on the four-hour chart. Bitcoins relative strength index (RSI) peaked at 74 on June 5 before retracing to the current 68 level, according to TradingView.

While this suggests that Bitcoin is trading at fair value, the RSI may need to fall to around the 50 mark before BTCs price can see more upside momentum.

The RSI is a popular momentum indicator used to measure whether an asset is oversold or overbought based on the magnitude of recent price changes.

Continued inflows from the United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could help BTC close the week above $71,300.

The U.S. Bitcoin ETFssaw collective inflows of $488.1 million on June 5. Moreover, Bitcoin ETFs recorded their second-best inflow day of $886.6 million on June 4. By Feb. 15, Bitcoin ETFsaccounted for about 75% of new investment in the worlds largest cryptocurrency as it surpassed the $50,000 mark.
