Quietly spun up @dmccquantum in July 2025. No fanfare. Just a handle and a teaser. Now it's sitting inside @DMCC_Tech alongside @DMCC_Cyber, @dmccaicentre, @dmcccrypto, and @DMCC_Gaming. Same playbook: community first. Companies need to know where to land when the market shows up.
4,000+ tech companies already run out of @DMCCAuthority. Largest tech hub in any UAE free zone. Quantum will touch all of them. Different speeds, different angles. AI, crypto, gaming, cybersecurity — all of them will need to position for quantum. Not in five years. Now.
@IBM is dropping $10B+ targeting fault-tolerant machines by 2029. @Google, @IQMquantum, @AMD, @ASMLcompany all pushing different parts of the stack. China scaling hard. Abu Dhabi's @TIIuae already designing and manufacturing quantum chips in-house.
Three doors open right now:
Quantum computing power layered on top of classical systems businesses already run.
Quantum-safe security. @NIST dropped first post-quantum crypto standards August 2024. Data stolen today can be cracked later. You don't need to own a quantum computer to start protecting yourself. Post-quantum crypto runs on existing infrastructure.
Quantum-grade diamonds. Engineered defects in synthetic diamond = qubits and sensors. Some work at room temperature. Jewellery-grade synthetics ≠ device-grade. Purity, controlled defects, fabrication quality decide that. Natural diamond still wins on rarity and provenance. Engineered diamond wins on function.
Idea came from a walk through Uptown Tower with Lula Mohanty from @IBMConsulting. I asked if it was time. She said sooner than later. We didn't wait.
