Practical Quantum Advantage for Boosting Citations

Zhenhuan Liu (Apr 02 2025).

Abstract: Realizing practical quantum advantage with meaningful economic impact is the holy grail of the quantum information field. Recent quantum technology advances have driven exponential growth in quantum information research, with resultant publications achieving significantly elevated impact. Within academia, citation counts serve as a key metric for evaluating research impact, often directly influencing career advancement and compensation structures. Motivated by these observations, we propose a potential protocol for practical quantum advantage in boosting citations.
