Setting out a path to use quantum computing within a company is not as straightforward as the implementation of classical ICT-projects. The technology is fundamentally different and not mature yet, which makes the development and use uncertain, non-linear and more complex. Being also a potential disruptive technology makes it for a company important to be aware of the possible business value generated by using quantum computing and be prepared for taking this technology in production. In this article we present Quantum Organisational Readiness Levels to determine the degree of readiness for implementation of quantum computing.

Summary Advancements in nano-fabrication as well as improved control over quantum states has brought quantum technologies to the technological readiness level where large business took increased interest in this technology and started playing an active role in its development. Perhaps as a result of that, quantum computing has received a lot of media attention in the recent years, which makes it very important to understand what quantum computers (once sufficiently powerful one gets built) could or could not do and separate science from the hype which starts to surround this field. In this talk I will attempt to address these opportunities as well as challenges and suggest a few possible areas within upstream business where quantum computing could make an impact.
