Le paradoxe de Solow est au cœur du débat qui s’intéresse au lien qui existe entre l'investissement technologique et la productivité des entreprises. Aux États-Unis et par exemple en France, les dépenses consacrées aux technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) sont passées de moins de 1 % du PNB en 1970 à plus de 8% du PNB aux USA et à plus de 5% du PNB en France en 2023, alors que la croissance annuelle de la productivité de ces pays a oscillé autour de 1 à 2 % pour la plupart des années de la période 1970-2023. Ainsi, et contrairement aux idées reçues, il n’est pas formellement prouvé que les investissements technologiques aient entraîné des gains de productivité pour les entreprises depuis le début de ces investissements. L'industrie du futur et le paradoxe de Solow L'industrie du futur, caractérisée par l’automatisation, la robotisation, la relocalisation de la production et la connexion de systèmes

The Solow Paradox is at the heart of the debate about the link between technological investment and business productivity. In the United States and, for example, in France, spending on information and communication technologies (ICT) has increased from less than 1% of GNP in 1970 to more than 8% of GNP in the USA and more than 5% of GNP in France in 2023, while annual productivity growth in these countries has hovered around 1 to 2% for most years in the period 1970-2023. Thus, and contrary to popular belief, it has not been formally proven that technological investments have led to productivity gains for companies since the start of these investments. The Industry of the Future and the Solow Paradox The Industry of the Future, characterized by automation and robotization, the relocation of production, and the connection of disparate systems, today presents an opportunity to break the Solow Paradox. Indeed: Automation and robotization help reduce

6 November 2024 IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing industry, and Ansys have joined forces to integrate quantum computing into the $10B computer-aided engineering (CAE) industry. Together, IonQ and Ansys aim to accelerate simulation, expand high-fidelity design exploration, and reduce product development timelines, enabling faster market entry for innovative products.  This partnership aims to make simulation accessible to both quantum experts and non-experts, with the goal of enhancing enterprise value and streamlining product development processes. Ansys solutions are used in product development across industries and account for a significant portion of all modeling and simulation in the CAE market. As IonQ’s quantum computers advance and outpace classical systems on specific tasks, integrating them with Ansys’ technology for complex simulations will open the door to new discoveries and innovations. With these advancements, Ansys will gain access to critical infrastructure to test and refine its technology in a quantum environment.  IonQ will use Ansys’ multiphysics technology
