Quantum Computing in Commercial Contexts: Current Developments, Applications, Opportunities, and Challenges

ANALIA LOPEZ

Quantum computing has evolved from a largely theoretical discipline into a field of growing interest for commercial and industrial applications. Recent advances in quantum hardware, algorithms, and cloud-based access have enabled early experimentation outside academic environments, raising questions about its potential impact on real-world decision-making and operational problems. This paper provides an overview of the current state of quantum computing with a focus on its emerging relevance in commercial contexts. It examines the categories of problems that have attracted attention from industry, particularly those involving high combinatorial complexity such as optimization, scheduling, logistics, and resource allocation. The analysis also reviews the global landscape of companies and initiatives engaged in quantum computing, highlighting different technological approaches, maturity levels, and regional characteristics. In parallel, the paper discusses the principal challenges and limitations that constrain widespread adoption, including hardware immaturity, algorithmic readiness, cost factors, and organizational requirements. By considering both opportunities and risks, this study aims to present a balanced and realistic perspective on the role quantum computing may play in business environments. The objective is to clarify the current position of quantum computing within the broader technological landscape and to support informed interpretation of its potential, limitations, and future trajectory in commercial applications.

Mapping the Narratives of Quantum Computing in IS: A Literature Review

Descazeaux, Ignacio

Quantum computing has been widely presented as a future computational revolution, yet its implications for the field of information systems (IS) remain underexplored. While technical research dominates current discourse, IS scholars are only beginning to engage with the social, organizational, and managerial dimensions of this emerging technology. This study asks: What are the narratives of quantum computing present in the IS literature? Using a narrative literature review approach, I analyze 96 articles from leading IS journals and conferences. The analysis identifies 11 distinct narratives and synthesizes them into six aggregated dimensions, which together reveal how IS research is beginning to frame quantum computing. These findings contribute to clarifying the conceptual landscape, surface early theoretical tensions, and propose a research agenda for future IS inquiry into quantum technologies. This study supports IS scholars in engaging more meaningfully with quantum computing, even before its full commercial deployment.

Photonic Quantum Computing and Quantum Topological Data Analysis: A DeepTech Landscape for HealthTech, ClimateTech and FinTech

Murali Krishna Pasupuleti

Abstract: This study investigates the convergence of photonic quantum computing and quantum topological data analysis as an emerging DeepTech pathway for HealthTech, ClimateTech and FinTech. The paper develops a structured literature-review and mathematical framework that connects photonic hardware assumptions, persistent homology, quantum algorithms for topological invariants and commercialization-readiness assessment. The central problem is not whether quantum computing will replace classical analytics in the immediate term, but how a defensible hybrid architecture can identify tasks where topology, optical quantum information processing and sector-specific data geometry create plausible advantage. The research therefore distinguishes near-term value from classical topological machine learning, medium-term value from quantum algorithmic benchmarking and long-term value from fault-tolerant photonic architectures. The method combines documentary evidence from official quantum strategies and peer-reviewed technical literature with a source-calibrated indicator matrix. Public data include national quantum programme commitments and reported photonic quantum projects, while coded sector indicators represent data intensity, photonic fit, QTDA relevance, infrastructure readiness, regulatory maturity, commercial pull and governance burden. Mathematical support is provided through equations for quantum state representation, Vietoris-Rips filtrations, persistent Betti numbers, persistence landscapes and a weighted readiness index. Results indicate that FinTech shows the strongest near-term operational readiness for topological early-warning systems, HealthTech offers the deepest scientific and clinical transformation potential, and ClimateTech provides the clearest public-value use case through explainable anomaly detection, carbon monitoring and resilience planning. The paper concludes that commercialization should proceed through staged validation, with classical TDA as the immediate baseline, quantum algorithms as verifiable benchmark objects and photonic quantum computing as a strategic, fault-tolerant horizon. Keywords: photonic quantum computing; quantum topological data analysis; persistent homology; DeepTech commercialization; HealthTech; ClimateTech; FinTech; quantum algorithms; topological machine learning; innovation governance.
