Abstract:

Within the last few decades, quantum science and technology have become areas of tremendous worldwide interest, and have thus, garnered significant investment. We analyzed areas of quantum technology with the potential to change the way we sense, communicate, and compute. The focus of this report is on quantum sensing and metrology, quantum communication, and quantum computing, and what investments DoD should make to ensure the United States is not a victim of technological surprise.
