Claude Cowork, Bigdata Plugin, Thematic Research/4 minutes read
Every once in a while a technology stops being a science project and starts behaving like a market. AI did it five years ago. Quantum computing is doing it right now, and the numbers are starting to look impossible to ignore. The global quantum computing market, valued at approximately $17.4 billion in 2025 for photonic integrated circuits alone [1], is projected to expand at a 20.8% CAGR through 2034, reaching $86.4 billion [1]. Boston Consulting Group puts the broader quantum technology market at up to $97 billion in revenue by 2035, with quantum computing capturing $72 billion of that total [2]. McKinsey is even more aggressive: a total addressable market of $850 billion over the coming decade [3]. That is the shape of an inflection point. It is the shape AI had in 2020 — quietly trending in research papers, then suddenly showing up in every board deck. I wanted a sharp, sourced view of where the money, the technology, and the players are converging. So I built one.

The full report

I generated a complete Quantum Computing & Quantum Chip Manufacturing thematic research report using Claude Cowork and the official Bigdata.com Plugin. Total time, from idea to PDF: under 5 minutes.

Send your prompt

Create a new Cowork task and write the following prompt as example:
You are a Discretionary financial research analyst. Can you create a
sell-side report on quantum computing and quantum chip manufacturing?
I want to understand which private and public companies offer solutions,
conduct research, and how many patents they have. If it is a public
company, please analyze its fundamentals over the last 6 quarters.
Use bigdata and add inline attributions. Thanks!

Why I think this is the AI-2020 moment for quantum

Three things tend to mark a commercial inflection point, and quantum is hitting all three at once:
SignalAI in 2020Quantum in 2026
Capital is flowingHyperscalers double down on GPUsHyperscalers, governments and dedicated VCs are funding quantum chip foundries and photonic integration
Real revenue, not pilotsCloud AI services scale to billionsQuantum-as-a-service contracts and chip manufacturing revenue moving from millions to billions [1][2]
Supply chain hardensNvidia + TSMC + HBM stackPhotonic integrated circuits, cryogenic control, fault-tolerant architectures consolidating into a stack
When all three signals fire together, the market stops debating if and starts pricing who. That is the moment I am excited to watch — and to research, faster than ever.
