The 11th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Data Mining (FSDM 2025)

Abstract: Quantum Computing (QC) is a new generation of computing technologies based on the principles of quantum mechanics. These technologies offer significant advantages over traditional computer systems in solving complex problems that would take years for classical computers. Although QC is still in the experimental and early application stages, its potential impact on businesses and industries is profound. The ability of QC to process vast amounts of information at incredible speeds and find solutions to previously unsolvable problems could accelerate innovation, revolutionize industries and create new business opportunities. These technologies can be used to solve specific, real-world business problems that may include big data processing, complex calculations, process optimization, cybersecurity, quantum machine learning to improve business analytics. Businesses that begin investing in quantum technologies will have significant competitive advantages. To realize the potential of QC, companies must invest in strategic partnerships with technology companies, train specialists and experiment with pilot projects. Early adopters will gain a competitive advantage by optimizing operations, creating innovative products and transforming business models. In the era of quantum supremacy, business innovation will be defined by the ability to master the quantum potential not only as a tool, but also as a catalyst for radical change. The purpose of the invited speech is to examine how QC can accelerate innovation processes in business, as well as to outline practical aspects and challenges that pave the road to implementing this disruptive technology in the corporate environment.
