Discovery projects
On June 5, 2026, McKinsey & Company published "The Quantum Discovery Framework," a project management standard tailored for quantum computing hardware R&D. The methodology introduces "Entangled Milestone Tracking," a system where hardware development progress is dynamically synchronized with software feasibility benchmarks. By utilizing "Probabilistic Resource Buffering," the framework allows project leads to reallocate funding between competing qubit architectures based on real--time error--rate data, effectively managing the high technical volatility inherent in deep--tech exploration.
