Examining organizational requirements and developing strategic process models that facilitate the integration of quantum devices into organizational structures, therefore, constitutes an increasingly important research direction. Their interdisciplinarity and proximity to practice make Information Systems researchers particularly suited to tackle this problem in a way that provides practitioners with a helpful strategic framework. Quantum decoherence, sometimes also referred to as quantum noise, is the process of interaction between the quantum system and the environment, leading to the loss of quantum information (Shor 1996).
Quantum technology depends on cooling particles with helium to maintain their stability. However, the limited supply and high cost of helium present two potential risks. Firstly, companies must ensure a reliable source of helium to keep their equipment running. Secondly, there is a risk of a concentration of capabilities in the hands of a few operators, leading to a potential imbalance of power and access to quantum technology. According to the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), by 2029, quantum computers will be able to break current public key infrastructure, including 128-bit AES encryption.
Shor’s algorithm may break RSA encryption, but it will remain an
anecdote if the largest number that it can factor is 15. … Read More
