Quantum Computing in the Global Energy Landscape
A four-month technoeconomic brief for Wood Mackenzie's research desk on where quantum computing will — and won't — actually move the needle for energy. Six applications (grid optimization, nuclear R&D, battery chemistry, enhanced solar, energy finance, quantum sensing) scored on a three-axis matrix. Two presentations at Wood Mackenzie, a dozen industry interviews, and one phantom client lead who only ever appeared on Zoom.
