A landmark UK survey finds 41% of large enterprises expect quantum computing to unlock over £100 million in value within a year, yet a third cite lack of expertise as the key barrier. Quantum Links AI has built the platform that removes that barrier entirely.

New Report Reveals 41% of UK Enterprises Expect Quantum Computing to Unlock Over £100M in Value — Quantum Links AI Says the Access Layer Is Already Built
Milton Keynes, UK — A major new report published this week has confirmed what Quantum Links AI has been saying since its founding: the quantum computing era for enterprise has arrived, and the biggest barrier standing between businesses and transformational results is not the hardware, it is access.
The report, "The Quantum Effect: How Quantum Computing is Reshaping Business Today in Preparation for Tomorrow's Quantum Economy", commissioned by D-Wave Quantum and conducted by Censuswide among 1,003 senior UK business decision-makers in May 2026, found that:
•41% of large UK enterprises estimate quantum computing could unlock more than £100 million in value to their business within a single year.
•65% of UK business leaders are already adopting or actively testing quantum computing
.•33% cite lack of internal expertise as the primary barrier to broader adoption.
•30% cite limited awareness as a key obstacle.
•87% believe quantum computing could help optimise AI processes and complex computational challenges.
The findings directly validate the market gap that Quantum Links AI was built to close.
The Problem the Report Identifies Is Exactly the Problem Quantum Link AI Solves
Tariq Syed, CEO and Co-Founder of Quantum Links AI, commented:
"This report is a landmark moment for the quantum computing industry. It confirms that enterprise demand is real, the commercial value is enormous, and the technology is ready. But it also confirms what we have known from day one: the single biggest barrier to adoption is not the hardware, it is the expertise required to access it.
Thirty-three percent of UK business leaders say they lack the internal quantum expertise to move forward. That is precisely the problem Quantum Links AI was built to solve."
Quantum Links AI's platform sits between the enterprise and the quantum hardware. It analyses a business problem, calculates a Quantum Readiness Score, and automatically routes the workload to the optimal compute backend — whether classical, quantum, or a hybrid of both. The enterprise user requires no quantum physics knowledge. They simply submit a problem and receive a better answer, faster.
From Concept to Live Quantum Hardware
Quantum Links AI has recently achieved a significant technical milestone: live execution of real workloads on a 108-qubit Rigetti quantum processor via AWS Braket, with verified task IDs and hardware measurement results returned. The platform is hardware-agnostic, designed to connect enterprises to IBM, Google, Rigetti, and Quantinuum backends through a single intelligent orchestration layer.
The company is now entering the benchmarking phase, running head-to-head tests between quantum and classical processing to quantify the performance gains across enterprise workloads.
The Opportunity Is Now
The D-Wave/Censuswide report also highlighted that organisations actively engaging with quantum computing today estimate nearly twice the commercial value of those waiting for the technology to mature — and are more than twice as likely to believe it is already delivering value.
Tariq Syed added:
"The companies that engage with quantum computing now will have a significant advantage over those that wait. The access layer exists. The hardware is live. The results are being proven. Quantum Links AI is ready to be the bridge that connects UK enterprises to this opportunity, today, not in five years."
