Quantum technologies are becoming commercially significant for the telecom sector. Most immediately relevant use cases are in quantum safety – protecting data and infrastructure from future quantum threats – and quantum computing, which can solve complex problems faster than traditional computers. Telcos may need solutions internally, but they can also offer services to their customers. Quantum safety is a high growth area that some telcos may be well-positioned to play in. This report will help to plan short-term activities and define long-term strategy.
