Quantum Economy

The Quantum Economy

The Quantum Economy explains why quantum computing is becoming economically relevant now, not someday in the distant future. Quentin G. Dalton shows how quantum and AI are converging into a strategic force that could reshape finance, industry, cybersecurity, and global competition.

Written for business leaders, investors, policymakers, technologists, and informed readers, this book offers a clear framework for understanding the coming quantum economy and the choices it will force on companies and nations.

Rather than treating quantum as a narrow technical milestone, Dalton places it in the larger context of computing limits, AI's growing demand for resources, and the race for advantage among firms and governments. The result is a timely, accessible guide to the economic stakes of a new computing era.

Readers will come away with a sharper understanding of why quantum progress matters before full-scale maturity, how hybrid computing architectures may emerge, and what strategic questions decision-makers must confront as the frontier of power shifts.
