Abstract

Recently, there has been increasing awareness of the tremendous opportunities inherent in quantum computing (QC). Specifically, the speed and efficiency of QC will significantly impact the Internet of Things, cryptography, finance, and marketing. Accordingly, there has been increased QC research funding from national and regional governments and private firms. However, critical concerns regarding legal, political, and business-related policies germane to QC adoption exist. A few relevant studies are currently available, and those few focus heavily on the technical side of QC. Thus, this study offers a multidisciplinary review of QC, drawing on the expertise of scholars from a wide range of disciplines whose insights coalesce into a framework that simplifies the understanding of QC. This study offers a timely contribution to both practitioners and academia, as it explores use cases in business, addresses fundamental legal and political issues undermining QC’s adoption, and highlights several research gaps critical to advancing knowledge within the field.
