The Quantum Computing Business Ecosystem and Firm Strategies

Joseph Jenkins, Nicholas Berente, Corey Michael Angst

Quantum computing is an emerging technology that promises to revolutionize business and society. Although it is still in its early stages, firms have begun to invest heavily in the technology. In this article, we review some key themes of quantum computing from a business-oriented perspective, and construct a framework of the quantum computing business ecosystem. We also conduct an analysis of the contemporary discourse to identify four general strategies that firms are following as they invest in quantum computing. We refer to these as conventional, options, discovery, and adversarial strategies and describe and offer examples of each.

Challenges of Quantum Computing Application for Accelerated Business Innovation

Dimiter Georgiev Velev, Пламена Златева

Quantum Computing (QC) is a new generation of computing technologies based on the principles of quantum mechanics. It can offer significant advantages over traditional computer systems in solving complex problems that would take years for classical computers. The ability of QC to process vast amounts of information at incredible speeds and find solutions to previously unsolvable problems could accelerate innovation, revolutionize industries and create new business opportunities. QC can be used to solve specific, real-world business problems that can include big data processing, complex calculations, process optimization, and cybersecurity. To realize the potential of QC, companies must invest in partnerships with technology companies, train specialists and experiment with pilot projects. Early adopters will gain a competitive advantage by optimizing operations, creating innovative products and transforming business models. The aim of the paper is to examine the way QC can accelerate innovation processes in business, as well as to outline practical aspects and challenges to help implement this disruptive technology in the corporate environment.

Quantum Computing and AI: A Mega-Buzzword

Ahmed Banafa

Quantum computers are designed to perform tasks much more accurately and efficiently than conventional computers, providing developers with a new tool for specific applications. Quantum computing can provide a computation boost to artificial intelligence, enabling it to tackle more complex problems in many fields in business and science. Quantum computers are critical to process the monumental amount of data that businesses generate on a daily basis, and the fast calculation can be used to solve very complex problems which can be expressed as quantum supremacy where the calculations that normally take more than 10,000 years to perform could be done by a quantum computer in 200 seconds . Cloud access revenues will likely dominate as a revenue source for quantum computing companies in the format of quantum computing as a service offering, which will be accounting for 75% of all quantum computing revenues in 2026.
