In the latest 2023 edition of Understanding Quantum Computing 2023, I proposed a framework to analyze the quantum computing case studies that are flourishing nowadays.
It is located in the book just before 57 pages listing various case studies in 16 vertical markets (healthcare, energy, chemistry, transportation, logistics, retail, telecommunications, finance, insurance, …). These pages contain 239 scientific or review papers related to these various market case studies.
When you discover an analyst or IT vendor white paper or an academic review paper showcasing how quantum computing will transform your industry, it is usually written using the present tense, showcasing many practical case studies, sometimes with their scientific references.
