Overview of this book

Are quantum computing and Blockchain on a collision course or will they be the most important trends of this decade to disrupt industries and life as we know it? Fintech veteran and venture capitalist Arunkumar Krishnakumar cuts through the hype to bring us a first-hand look into how quantum computing and Blockchain together are redefining industries, including fintech, healthcare, and research. Through a series of interviews with domain experts, he also explores these technologies’ potential to transform national and global governance and policies – from how elections are conducted and how smart cities can be designed and optimized for the environment, to what cyberwarfare enabled by quantum cryptography might look like. In doing so, he also highlights challenges that these technologies have to overcome to go mainstream. Quantum Computing and Blockchain in Business explores the potential changes that quantum computing and Blockchain might bring about in the real world. After expanding on the key concepts and techniques, such as applied cryptography, qubits, and digital annealing, that underpin quantum computing and Blockchain, the book dives into how major industries will be impacted by these technologies. Lastly, we consider how the two technologies may come together in a complimentary way.

They have considered technology as cost centers and non-core to their business. However, that approach has been challenged by two key changes in the business landscape.

The recession in 2008 saw several key shifts in how financial services firms interacted with innovative technologies. Banks had huge regulatory pressures after the recession. This meant they had to be careful about how creative they got with financial products they were offering to their customers. Banks had to report more details to the regulators about their product and service offerings. As a result, innovative products became scarce. There were large overheads related to back office technology and processes. In the...
