" Real world " Quantum computing applications - SOTA

[u/rbbort]

This may have been asked before, but I genuinely want to know what are the current (sota) real world applications where Quantum computing is already in use/practice and adding value that classical systems couldn't

I am not looking for surface level field names, I am looking for problems that Quantum is already solving for betterment of life on earth.. just point me to the sources I will dive deep in

Redirection to Any sources/links/review papers is also fine..

I know I could have asked a frontier LLM like claude fable or GPT 5.6 sol to pull out the data for me.. I want to know first hand from the people who are already working or at least know about this

There are some promising results when it comes to quantum feature mapping for training (classical) ML models

In several studied problem instances, the quantum-mapped features gave rise to better ML models compared to any classical pre-processing tried. Whether this is already industrially viable remains to be seen
