Insider Brief
An IBM report concludes that governments need sustained investment, workforce development, cybersecurity modernization, resilient supply chains and international cooperation to remain competitive in quantum technologies.
The report compares the quantum strategies of the United States, China, the European Union, India and Australia, finding that each pursues a distinct mix of public investment, innovation, education and commercialization.
The report warns that preparing for the quantum era requires action beyond quantum computing alone, including advances in quantum communications, sensing and post-quantum cryptography.
Governments that focus narrowly on quantum computing risk falling behind in a technology race that increasingly encompasses communications, sensing, cybersecurity and international partnerships, according to a new report from the IBM Center for The Business of Government.
