Quantum Computing at Large: Society, Industry, and the Global Future - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Quantum computing has rapidly evolved from theory to a globally significant technology, attracting attention from governments, industry, and media. Yet it remains distant and complex for many, often confined to technical domains. This book approaches quantum computing as a socio-technical system with broad implications for society, industry, and global futures, examining issues of power, access, governance, and inequality. Rather than focusing on physics or engineering, it offers an accessible, interdisciplinary perspective that situates quantum computing within economic, political, and institutional contexts. It explores how quantum technologies may reshape industries, influence global competitiveness, and introduce new ethical and regulatory challenges. Written for policymakers, academics, practitioners, and general readers, the book promotes inclusive and informed engagement with quantum computing. It argues that its impact will depend not only on technical progress, but on governance, participation, and the values guiding its development toward a more equitable and sustainable future.
