ABSTRACT
In the previous chapters, we discussed the use cases, the threats, and the timelines of quantum technologies. We will now look at the strategic perspective of a typical non-quantum enterprise. We will assume a typical large-scale organisation that does not sell IT products per se, but relies heavily on computing infrastructure to optimise its operations, supervise processes, communicate with suppliers and clients, and potentially invest in computer-aided R&D. While these organisations may be excited about the potential of quantum computing, they may also feel vulnerable – whether due to competitors advancing ahead or due to hackers attacking legacy cryptography.
