    THREE ESSAYS ON QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
    (2024) Stein, Amanda; Wang, Ping; Information Studies; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    This dissertation examines quantum technology applications in three essays. Essay 1 portrays how companies are beginning to innovate with quantum computing in four case studies. The cases employ and enrich the Diffusion of Innovations theory as a conceptual framework for quantum computing innovation adoption and management. Essay 2 follows the evolution of quantum sensing with two cases of how organizations currently use the technology and plan to use it in the future. These cases illustrate how people and organizations use their discourse to develop an organizing vision for adopting and applying quantum sensing. Essay 3 focuses on the relationships between quantum technology and artificial intelligence through a literature review using grounded theory. The essay provides examples on how the two technologies interact and recommendations to stakeholders for future advancement. In summary, while the science and engineering side of quantum technologies is still developing, understanding how quantum technologies are and will be applied can help inform business and public policies.
