The Quantum Cloud

Quantum computing (QC) is a game-changing concept that has the potential to change many different areas of computing, particularly cloud computing. Despite being in its early stages, QC is a pricey technology recognized for its susceptibility to environmental variables, necessitating operation in highly isolated locations. This creates enormous obstacles for researchers to overcome. However, integrating QC into distant servers, such as cloud infrastructures, shows promise in overcoming these problems and making QC more accessible to consumers. This chapter outlines the vision and problems of quantum cloud computing (QCC) as it integrates with cloud computing. It also outlines QC&s;s advantages over traditional computer applications and evaluates its impact on cloud systems, including expenses, assurances, and agility. Despite the obvious benefits, the chapter highlights some research gaps in QCC. This chapter attempts to provide options for future study by clarifying the benefits and problems of QCC with a focus on addressing existing study gaps.
