With quantum technologies proliferating, business leaders may be wondering whether quantum computing is appropriate and secure for their work.

A business should use quantum computing if the mathematical problem that needs to be solved is too complex for conventional computing to complete in a practical amount of time.

People who want to use quantum computing for business should be prepared to pay for access to a quantum computer.

"For the majority of problems, classical computers will actually outperform quantum computers. And more importantly, they'll outperform quantum computers at a much lower cost," Milicevic said.

When it comes to cybersecurity, quantum computing and other methods taking into account quantum states, such as quantum cryptography, could be used by attackers as much as by defenders.

Research in quantum key distribution is ongoing as organizations try to solve problems such as errors introduced by the difficulty of maintaining the extremely low temperatures ideal for quantum computing and how to improve the stability of the qubits.
