Promoting Strong International Collaboration in Quantum Technology Research and Development

Abstract

Quantum technology holds the promise of producing new computers, sensors, and communication systems that can gather, transmit, and process information in ways that far surpass our current capabilities, with potentially dramatic benefits to economic prosperity and national security. It also poses potential risks to national security and economic stability: One of the best-known applications of future quantum computers is the ability to rapidly break the encryption systems used to protect todays internet traffic, potentially exposing sensitive information, such as health records, commercial transactions, and defense-related communications, to hostile interception.
