  Quantum computing (QC) is a new paradigm that will revolutionize various
areas of computing, especially cloud computing. QC, still in its infancy, is a
costly technology capable of operating in highly isolated environments due to
its rapid response to environmental factors. For this reason, it is still a
challenging technology for researchers to reach. Integrating QC into an
isolated remote server, like a cloud, and making it available to users can
overcome these problems. Furthermore, experts predict that QC, with its ability
to swiftly resolve complex and computationally intensive operations, will offer
significant benefits in systems that process large amounts of data, like cloud
computing. This article presents the vision and challenges for the quantum
cloud computing (QCC) paradigm that will emerge with the integration of quantum
and cloud computing. Next, we present the advantages of QC over classical
computing applications. We analyze the effects of QC on cloud systems, such as
cost, security, and scalability. Besides all of these advantages, we highlight
research gaps in QCC, such as qubit stability and efficient resource
allocation. This article identifies QCC's advantages and challenges for future
research, highlighting research gaps.
