Quantum computing promises to be the next disruptive technology, with numerous possible applications and implications for organizations and markets. Quantum computers exploit principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and entanglement, to represent data and perform operations on them. Both of these principles enable quantum computers to solve very specific, complex problems significantly faster than standard computers. Against this backdrop, this fundamental gives a brief overview of the three layers of a quantum computer: hardware, system software, and application layer. Furthermore, we introduce potential application areas of quantum computing and possible research directions for the field of information systems.

量子计算有望成为下一个颠覆性技术，对组织和市场具有众多可能的应用和影响。量子计算机利用量子力学原理（例如叠加和纠缠）来表示数据并对其执行操作。这两个原则都使量子计算机能够比标准计算机更快地解决非常具体、复杂的问题。在此背景下，本基础简要概述了量子计算机的三层：硬件、系统软件和应用层。此外，我们还介绍了量子计算的潜在应用领域以及信息系统领域可能的研究方向。
