Abstract: Quantum computing can revolutionize surgery by accelerating the training of artificial intelligence models on large, diverse datasets, advancing robotic autonomy and facilitating a detailed study of biological structures and materials on a very minute scale. Substantial technical, financial and regulatory challenges must be overcome for the successful implementation of quantum computing in urology.
