Hewlett Packard Enterprise explains why it gave up on quantum computing right as it was splitting off from HP Inc

However, HP took a different route. Around five years ago, HP decided it would be difficult to scale to a level where it could build a usable quantum computer. In addition, during this time, HP was about to be split"I felt that the materials industry was probably a decade away from making that available," HP Enterprise senior fellow Ray Beausoleil, who led HP's quantum computing efforts, told Business Insider.

Beausoleil also says he couldn't come up with a use case in quantum computing that HPE was likely to have. He says the types of things HPE focuses on in its day-to-day work don't directly apply to building a quantum computer, so quantum computing no longer became a priority. Beausoleil says that while quantum computing could be "awesomely important" for drug discovery and finding new building materials, HPE focuses more on business applications.

Some of the challenges of building a quantum computer today include making sure temperatures remain close to absolute zero – otherwise, the particles required for these computations will become unstable. Instead, HPE decided to focus on building more advanced computer hardware that its customers could use.
