QIoT: IoT Architectures in Quantum Computing Era

Recent advancements in quantum computing have highlighted the necessity for specialized software to effectively address the unique challenges of quantum systems. The integration of quantum computing with IoT ecosystems, forming the Quantum Internet of Things (QIoT), offers transformative potential across security, efficiency, and computational scalability. This paper presents a review of QIoT architectures, focusing on their core dimensions, including security, blockchain integration, quantum-assisted machine learning, and quality attributes. By synthesizing findings and proposing a structured taxonomy, we address gaps and explore pathways for future research and innovation. The paper aims to serve as a roadmap for researchers and practitioners navigating the complexities of QIoT systems.
