Supercomputers and quantum computing on the axis of cyber security

Abstract

Cybersecurity has become a very critical area to address for governments, industry and the academic community. Cyber attacks are on the rise so is research to address the challenges presented by these attacks. Research yields several technological advancements. This paper explores the development of quantum computing and supercomputers within the context of cybersecurity. As many governments and organizations are under the threat of cyber-attacks, it is critical and timely to explore the status of technological development. We use advanced scientometric techniques to disclose the development status and identify the centers of excellence. The research uses bibliometric data of published papers and utilizes an integration of scientometric methods including social network analysis, entropy analysis, cluster analysis, overlay maps and knowledge diffusion analysis as well as keyword and source analyses.
