Advances and New Research Opportunities in Quantum Computing Technology by Integrating it with Other ICCT Underlying Technologies

Abstract

Purpose: To explore the vast potential and possibilities that arise from synergizing quantum computing with other foundational technologies in the field of Information, Communication, and Computing Technologies (ICCT). By integrating quantum computing with other ICCT technologies, such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, cryptography, and communication networks, researchers aim to unlock unprecedented computational power and efficiency, thereby revolutionizing various industries and scientific domains. This research seeks to unravel novel applications, enhance the robustness and scalability of quantum computing systems, and pave the way for transformative advancements that will shape the future of information processing and communication paradigms. Ultimately, this interdisciplinary exploration holds the key to unleashing the full capabilities of quantum computing and opens doors to groundbreaking innovations that were once considered beyond reach. Methodology: Exploratory research method is used to analyse and interpret various related information collected using secondary sources using Google search engine and Google Scholar search engine as well as using quasi-secondary sources including AI engine supported GPT and Bard. ABCD analysis framework is used to study the advantages, benefits, constraints, and disadvantages of integration of Quantum computing technology with other ICCT Underlying Technologies. Finally, the results are interpreted and concluded by developing 12 postulates. Findings: The results demonstrate the potential of integrating quantum computing with other ICCT underlying technologies, offering transformative improvements in computational power, security, and efficiency across various industries and applications. As quantum computing continues to advance, its integration with other ICCT technologies will lead to new opportunities for innovation and the development of more sophisticated and powerful information and communication systems. Originality/Value: The paper evaluates advances and new research opportunities in the area of quantum computing technology. A new idea of integration of quantum computing technology with other ICCT underlying technologies is proposed and the advantages, benefits, constraints, and disadvantages of integration of Quantum computing technology with other ICCT Underlying Technologies are analysed using the ABCD analysis framework. The results are interpreted in the form of 12 new postulates. Type of Paper: Exploratory research
