QED-C | Commercialization & Use Cases

Mission

The Commercialization & Use Cases TAC shall identify practical uses of quantum information science and technology (QIST), potential markets, and pathways for commercialization. The useful applications of QIST may be differentiated and classified by application, model or purpose. The TAC shall assess the readiness of these quantum technologies and any innovation gaps that may exist.

Goals

Enhance QED-C’s position as the industry thought leader
Strengthen the global member community
Amplify the collective knowledge of the quantum community
Deliver value through enhanced member engagement
Secure strategic investment in quantum technologies

Projects

The Commercialization & Use Cases TAC will continue its series of assessments that bring together quantum technology developers with end users to identify and prioritize useful applications and commercialization pathways. The TAC will cover three (3) topics in 2026: • Quantum Technologies for Securing Medical Data and Electronic Health Records • Quantum Sensing for Space and Defense • Quantum Computing for Oil and Gas
The Commercialization & Use Cases TAC will organize and propose one to three (1–3) sessions, which may include presentations or panel discussions, that showcase quantum applications for inclusion at QED-C flagship meetings and at leading conferences in other industry verticals. TAC members will volunteer to speak at three (3) conferences or webinars in other industry verticals to share the TAC’s findings and recommendations.
The Commercialization & Use Cases TAC will prepare a slide deck that documents real-world demonstrations of quantum technologies as a reference for QED-C members.
