Quantum technology, which makes use of the surprising and often counterintuitive properties of the subatomic universe, is revolutionizing the way information is gathered, stored, shared and analyzed.
The commercial and scientific potential of the quantum revolution is vast, but it is in national security that quantum technology is making the biggest waves. National governments are by far the heaviest investors in quantum research and development.
Quantum technology promises breakthroughs in weapons, communications, sensing and computing technology that could change the world's balance of military power. The potential for strategic advantage has spurred a major increase in funding and research and development in recent years.
The three key areas of quantum technology are computing, communications and sensing. Particularly in the United States and China, all three are now seen as crucial parts of the struggle for economic and military supremacy.
The race is on
Developing quantum technology isn't cheap. Only a small number of states have the organizational capacity and technological know-how to compete.
Russia, India, Japan, the European Union and Australia have established significant quantum research and development programs. But China and the US hold a substantial lead in the new quantum race.
