Quantum economics, or the quantum interpretation of management

Walter R.J. Baets

It is clear that what we know as business economics, the theory that forms the basis of our managerial thinking, cannot hold any more within a quantum interpretation of the world, other than as an exception to, or a specific case of, a more general rule. In this chapter I suggest the framework of a new kind of economic thinking that fits the quantum interpretation and that allows us to gain a deeper insight into business practice. In the first part of the chapter I will critically summarize what we know as business economics, in order to illustrate, in the second part of the chapter, with some examples, how a quantum interpretation sheds new light on our experienced reality.

Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the science of quantum mechanics and its potential business applications. It discusses the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme and other national initiatives to develop and adopt quantum technologies. The chapter discusses some basic principles of quantum mechanics, and why they could lead to economic and societal benefits, the chapter introduces an analytical framework for understanding business model innovation and explores key issues from a business and economic research perspective. Itoutlinesanumberofhistoricalcasestudiesofmajortechnologicaltransitions to provide the analytical lens for understanding the socio-technical and economic aspects of adopting quantum technologies on industry and society.

Quantum Data Encryption as a Service on Demand: Eindhoven QKD Network Testbed

Thiago R. Raddo, Simon Rommel, Victor Land +2 more

The widespread acceptance and deployment of quantum key distribution (QKD) for data encryption requires a better understanding of the technology concerning device-to-system interfacing and network performance from current vendors. Despite the existence of a few QKD testbeds worldwide, they are neither open-access nor capable of validating components from different system and component vendors business cases. User trials in testbeds have yet to yield a robust, open business case. This paper introduces the open-access QKD testbed currently being developed in the Eindhoven region which will focus on the creation of an open environment for end-to-end validation of distinct business cases, QKD security proofs, and technology certification and standardization. At this site, a quantum-to-the-home network scenario for providing quantum encryption as a service on demand, for end-to-end security to end-users, is also proposed. It is expected that this testbed will lead to a better understanding of what further developments are required for current networks to be augmented with QKD.
