The potential impact of quantum computers on society
Ethics and Information Technology 19 (4):271-276 (2017)
Abstract
This paper considers the potential impact that the nascent technology of quantum computing may have on society. It focuses on three areas: cryptography, optimization, and simulation of quantum systems. We will also discuss some ethical aspects of these developments, and ways to mitigate the risks.Links
