Vying for Quantum Supremacy: National Strategies of the US, UK, and China

Fri, May 22 2026 /Mpelembe Media/ — The global race for quantum technology is a high-stakes competition poised to revolutionize major industries, including healthcare, finance, clean energy, and national defense. This “second quantum revolution” relies on principles like superposition and entanglement to solve highly complex optimization problems exponentially faster than classical supercomputers. However, the technology also presents profound national security risks, particularly the potential to eventually break the cryptographic infrastructure that currently secures global communications and financial data.
