The quantum computing inflection point has arrived. In 2026, we're witnessing the transition from quantum research to quantum application, and the implications for South Africa's STI ecosystem are substantial. Quantum computers are now solving optimisation problems that would require classical supercomputers 47 years to process, completing them in hours. The commercial applications are materialising across sectors: pharmaceutical companies using quantum simulations to accelerate drug discovery,
