Abstract

Setting out a path to use quantum computing within a company is not as straightforward as the implementation of classical ICT-projects. The technology is fundamentally different and not mature yet, which makes the development and use uncertain, non-linear and more complex. Being also a potential disruptive technology makes it for a company important to be aware of the possible business value generated by using quantum computing and be prepared for taking this technology in production. In this article we present Quantum Organisational Readiness Levels to determine the degree of readiness for implementation of quantum computing.
