N2 - Quantum computing promises to be the next frontier of change that will transform the information and communication technology ecosystem. Governments and multinational firms have announced large grants and research projects involving quantum computing. These projects are envisioned to solve extremely complex computational problems that may bring transformational value to mankind at large. Information systems, as a discipline, is and will continue to be affected by this disruptive technology. In this article, we examine the advances in quantum computing and explore possible areas of theory development in information systems. Further, we discuss challenges and opportunities in quantum computing based on current technological developments in the field. We conclude by providing research directions regarding the adoption, usage, impacts, governance, and skills surrounding quantum computing at the individual, organizational, and national levels.
