Insider Brief

UCLA physicist Prineha Narang writes in a FT opinion piece that the United States must pair quantum research leadership with domestic manufacturing, procurement and secure supply chains.

She points to the semiconductor industry as a warning that scientific invention does not guarantee long-term industrial or national security advantages.

Narang says government purchasing commitments and allied supply-chain coordination could help create the demand and production capacity needed for commercial quantum computing.
