This chapter is a featured contribution to the monograph A Portrait of Quantum Technologies in Finance, edited by Oswaldo Zapata, PhD, and published by The Quantum Finance Boardroom
In this chapter, I argue that the real challenge of quantum technologies is not only technological — it is also conceptual and economic.
We are witnessing rapid progress in quantum computing, communication, and algorithms. Yet, there remains a significant gap between these advances and their understanding by business leaders and decision-makers.
This creates a strong risk of misinterpretation of what quantum can realistically deliver in the short term, with expectations outpacing actual capabilities.
More generally, if quantum technologies are to fulfil their promise, they must not remain confined to a small circle of experts. They need to be understood, critically assessed, and integrated into strategic thinking.
This is why I believe quantum should be considered a **public good**.
