Quantum computing across technology and business ecosystems
Track 25
Track chairs
Track description
As organisations adopt digital technologies to remain competitive, integrating quantum computing into the prevailing technological and business ecosystems has become a critical research area. The integration of quantum computing with distributed ledger technology (DLT), artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and the cloud introduces new opportunities for scalability, efficiency, and access to computing resources. Organizations across industries can leverage such synergies to drive innovation, enhance flexibility, and optimize operations. This convergence, however, also presents challenges that have the potential to disrupt industries such as finance, healthcare, and national defence. Understanding and addressing these challenges is essential to grasping the broader implications of quantum computing on technological, organisational, and societal landscapes. Quantum computing also demands new approaches to information systems development in research and practice. This track explores the nascent role of quantum computing in reshaping Information Systems theories and business practices. We invite papers that examine the implications of quantum computing for Information Systems research, business and society. We welcome theoretical, empirical, and design-oriented contributions across various levels of analysis, including individual, organisational, market, and societal perspectives.
