Why the United States Needs to Support Near-Term Quantum Computing Applications By Hodan Omaar | April 27, 2021 Quantum computing leverages principles from quantum mechanics, a As quantum computing branch of physics concerned primarily with the unique behaviors of has the potential to subatomic particles such as electrons and photons, to enable new, transcend the current extremely powerful computing architectures. Quantum computers use computational quantum bits (qubits), which operate according to the quantum laws of boundaries that have “superposition” and “entanglement,” that enable them to do things had a transformational traditional computers cannot. Because quantum computing is still early impact on the economy in its development phase, many assume that practical applications are and society, being a still years away. In reality, as this report documents, organizations are already using quantum computers today in real-world applications. As leader in this other nations rapidly scale up their investments to develop and use technology is of quantum computing, U.S. policymakers should ensure the United States strategic economic and remains a leader. In particular, investing in near-term quantum social importance to computing applications would bolster the development of longer-term the United States. use cases of the technology, thereby helping to cement U.S. economic competitiveness and protect national security. INTRODUCTION Recent advances in quantum computing technologies have led to a wave
