A quantum computer exhibits a quantum advantage when it can perform a calculation that a classical computer is unable … to complete. It follows that a company with a quantum computer would be a monopolist in the market for solving such a … calculation if its only competitor was a company with a classical computer. Conversely, economic outcomes are unclear in settings …
