#Quantumcomputing was a big theme this week at #IBMThink, as #quantumadvantage now appears closer than ever, according to #IBM CEO Arvind Krishna. Early adopters such as Cleveland Clinic, Boeing and Allstate were on hand at the conference to talk about how they're using the technology.

My colleague Kathleen Casey covers it all comprehensively but digestibly here, including the implications for enterprise #AI:

"IBM is recognizing that they needed to start bringing those products more closely together, so customers could get better benefits ... In the end, Concert [will] be the glue that brings it all together."
