# Quantum computing `kaal:entity:quantum-computing` **Status.** derived This node is assembled mechanically from the 9 claims that carry the concept tag `quantum-computing`. It is a roster of what the corpus says under this term. It is **not** an adjudicated definition: no single statement here has been ruled canonical, and no first-appearance call has been made. Read the claims and judge for yourself. ## Every claim under this term 9 claims across 3 works, 2024 to 2025. **2024** - [4900878-002](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900878-002) [mechanism/asserted] -- Because qubits hold multiple states simultaneously, quantum computers can perform complex calculations far faster than classical machines, and in a quantum economy this computational power can be used to solve intricate economic models, optimize resource allocation, and improve decision making across sectors. > In the context of the quantum economy, this increased computational power can be harnessed to solve intricate economic models, optimize resource allocation, and enhance decision-making processes across various sectors.

SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4900878 - [4900878-003](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900878-003) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Current cryptographic systems such as RSA rest on the classical difficulty of factoring large primes, so quantum algorithms like Shor's algorithm, which factor exponentially faster, can render those cryptographic methods obsolete. > Quantum algorithms, such as Shor's algorithm, can factor these numbers exponentially faster, potentially rendering existing cryptographic methods obsolete. Wulf A. Kaal, Quantum Economy and Tokenomics (2024). SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4900878 - [4900878-034](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900878-034) [condition/asserted] -- Quantum computing cuts both ways for blockchain: it can raise the efficiency and security of blockchain networks, but safeguarding those systems against the threats it also creates depends on research into quantum resistant cryptographic algorithms. > Research into quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms will be crucial to safeguard blockchain systems against potential threats posed by quantum computing. Wulf A. Kaal, Quantum Economy and Tokenomics (2024). SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4900878 - [4900880-004](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900880-004) [mechanism/asserted] -- Quantum computers gain their advantage over classical computers because qubits can hold multiple states simultaneously through superposition, which lets complex calculations run at exponentially faster rates than binary bit processing allows. > In contrast, quantum computers use qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously due to superposition. This capability allows quantum computers to perform complex calculations at exponentially faster rates than classical computers. Wulf A. Kaal, Quantum Economy and the Future of Work (2024).

Wulf A. Kaal, Quantum Economy and the Future of Work (2024). SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4900880 - [4900880-007](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900880-007) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Disparities in access to quantum computing resources and expertise are likely to widen existing inequalities both between nations and within societies, so the distributional effect of quantum technology is a predictable consequence of unequal access rather than an incidental risk. > The disparities in access to quantum computing resources and expertise could exacerbate existing inequalities between nations and within societies.

SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4900880 - [4900880-031](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900880-031) [predictive/argued] -- Quantum computing will displace job roles built on repetitive and manual tasks, but that displacement is offset by new roles in quantum programming, algorithm design, and quantum cryptography that did not previously exist. > However, this displacement is counterbalanced by the creation of new opportunities in emerging fields such as quantum programming, algorithm design, and quantum cryptography.
