A recent breakthrough in quantum computing has demonstrated the ability to solve complex problems in minutes that would typically take supercomputers a million years. This achievement, published in *Science*, has significant implications for the energy demands of AI data centers. Despite this development, the construction of new AI data centers continues, with projections indicating they could consume up to 17% of US electricity by 2030. AI
IMPACT Quantum computing's potential to solve complex problems rapidly could drastically reduce the energy footprint of AI, challenging current infrastructure build-outs.
