Telecommunications as the most promising
business to begin QT-driven transformation:
relevant problems
Network traffic management
Load balancing: combinatorial/discrete/continuous optimization
with equality type conditions
Routing: selecting a path for traffic in/between/across networks that
satisfies given conditions
Dynamic networks management: traffic management under
changing traffic demand, network topology etc.
Large scale networks management
Security of data transmission
Crucial point for customer servic
Classical encryption protocols are largely becoming compromised
with the development of quantum computing
Using atmospheric channels to transmit quantum encrypted data
comes along with development of Satellite Internet Access

Telecommunications as the most promising
business to begin QT-driven transformation:
sustainable business model
Top-line MTS growth powered by Telecom and Fintech performance
Group revenue increased 8.5% year-over-
year to reach RUB 134.4 bn with positive
contributions coming from Telecom, Fintech
and Media vertical
Telecom services were the main driver of
top-line growth reflecting high-quality
connectivity services and loyalty of MTS
client
Fintech and Media verticals demonstrated
robust performance amid an evolving
external environment
*Revenue calculated on a standalone basis (includes intragroup revenue). Totals may add up differently due to rounding. **MTS's wholly-owned subsidiary RTC,
which handles retail operations including the purchase and sale of handsets and accessories and subscriber enrollment at MTS retail stores. ***Financial
results of operating segment «Media» are presented within «Other» category in the Group’s IFRS consolidated financial statements

InTRODUction of QT inTO telecom: quantum cryptography
Level of integration
Physical integration:
Quantum Key
Distributor (QKD)
Logical integration
Major challenges Products
Weak and loss-sensitive quantum signals
Optical fibers used in telecommunications do
not preserve polarization
Usage of atmospheric channels requires
launching satellites
Current QKD testbeds are designed as
separated networks avoiding interaction with
classical channels
Full-duplex channels
Non-linear optical effects (four-wave mixing,
Rayleigh scattering, etc.)
Certification
Cryptography-as-a-service
Building an interface between classic SDN
data forwarding plane and quantum
forwarding plane (QFP)
Component-based view to interface design
Quantum Key Management
Secret sharing

InTRODUCTION of QT inTO telecom: quantum computing
Building-up competency
in Quantum computing
Development of QC-based solutions
Planned results
Partnerships and interaction
interfaces with universities,
research labs, quantum
hardware providers, application
developers etc.
Creating in-house quantum
capabilities: attracting
professionals, establishing
quantum departments
Development of Quantum hardware based on any
physical qubits (cold atoms, quantum dots etc.)
Development of specific open-source
libraries compilers, etc.
Development of quantum algorithms
Cloud-based solution of telecom-specific
problems
Experimenting and searching for new
use cases for a particular company
Involving professionals
from other areas: Data
Science, AI etc.
A sharp rise in quality
and speed of solution of
ordinary telecom
problems
Extraordinary use cases,
novel products
Severe cost reduction
Products:
Quantum-as-a-service
Telecom-owned hard-
and software for
customers’ cloud-based
access

QT-driven transformation of modern
business: reasons to transform
Logistics Healthcare Chemicals
and petroleum
Even a 1% performance
improvement in last mile
delivery could lead to an
annual $400 million in
savings worldwid
Supply chain disruptions
cost $184 million per year
on average to organizations
around the world
Today, 1 in 3 shipping
containers is moved while
empty due to global trade
imbalances
Quantum computing could
enable accelerating
diagnoses, personalizing
medicine and optimizing
pricin
Combination of quantum
computing and classical
modeling will save lives and
reduce costs
Quantum computing will vastly
accelerate the discovery and
development of new chemical
methods and material
Quantum computing may improve
the profit margins of chemicals
and petroleum businesses by
determining optimal combinations
of feed-stock routing, refining, and
products to market
Winner takes all

QT-driven transformation
of modern business: business model
Discovery-driven enterprise
Highly uncertain, complex and
fast-moving environment
Traditional planning and rock-
ribbed strategy execution lose
relevance
The would-be winners will be
engaged in the experimental
process – the only way to
reach winner-takes-all
scenario
Experimentation takes place
across as well as within firms
The cost of developing
experiment-based prototype
grows with prototype
advancement, however, the seed
costs are relatively modest

QT-driven business by 2030:
«quantum ecosystems»
By 2030 quantum computing is expected to become a USD15 billion industry
Incentives for the emergence of «quantum ecosystems»:
QT’s rapid evolution and characteristic learning curve
Building internal quantum competencies from the scratch
takes time and costs a lot
Professionals in QT are difficult to find and attract

The ecosystem enables the QT-driven business with:
Access to NISQ hardware for experimenting and solving industry-specific tasks now
Potential to evolve into fault-tolerant universal quantum computers
Involve leading professionals with research focus on the industry-specific problems
Right combination of QT providers, quantum developers/coders, academic partners, educational resources etc.
