Quantum computing aims to outperform classical computers for some specific calculations. It relies on the additional resources given by the qubit superposition states, which can be used to design more efficiently. Reversibility of quantum computation may help in solving NP problems, which are easy in one direction but hard in the opposite sense. Quantum computers can enhance data processing and analysis tasks. The potential impact of quantum algorithms on optimization problems, simulation of quantum systems, and machine learning tasks such as clustering and classification. It also includes efforts to standardize quantum hardware and software interfaces, enabling interoperability and accelerating the adoption of quantum computing. The barriers we face while adopting Quantum computing are the accuracy of the information, lack of technical experts, and organizational interest in adopting the new process. We find one more critical barrier is the lack of standards of secure communication techniques while adopting quantum computing. While numerous challenges lie ahead, the promise of quantum computing in solving complex problems and driving innovation is too significant to ignore. We will examine the existing quantum algorithms and applications that have demonstrated quantum advantage or potential utility in various domains.

Fingerprinting is one of the mainstream technologies for localization. However, it needs significant storage overhead and running time, preventing it from scaling to support world-wide indoor/outdoor localization.Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize computation by making some classically intractable problems solvable on quantum computers. In this paper, we propose a quantum fingerprint-based localization algorithm for enabling large-scale location tracking systems, envisioning future era of location tracking and spatial systems. Specifically, we propose a quantum algorithm that provides an exponential enhancement of both the space and running time complexity compared to the traditional classical systems. We give the details of how to build the quantum fingerprint, how to encode the received signal strength (RSS) measurements in quantum particles, and finally; present a quantum algorithm for calculating the cosine similarity between the online RSS measurements and the fingerprint ones.Results from deploying our algorithm in three real testbeds on IBM Quantum Experience machines confirm the ability of our quantum system to get the same accuracy as the classical one but with the potential exponential saving in both space and running time.
