The Quantum Advantage: Why it Matters and Essential Next Steps

JANUARY 30, 2024

Arlington, VA | January 30, 2024 — The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies is proud to announce three new Policy Papers in a series on quantum capabilities for national security applications by Heather R. Penney, Senior Resident Fellow.

Quantum information science and technology (QIST) is a major focus of defense innovation, yet few in the defense community really understand what is needed to mature these technologies into valuable warfighter capabilities. U.S. policymakers often jump to quantum computing when speaking of QIST advantages. Yet, other quantum applications are advancing at a pace that can fix known defense vulnerabilities and capability gaps within the next five years—things like timing, navigation, sensing, and radio frequency reception. Because many applications are defense-specific, DoD needs an investment strategy that goes well beyond research and development. This series of reports helps to demystify the science behind quantum technologies, explain why securing a lead in this field matters to warfighters, and recommend the next steps U.S. defense leaders should take to achieve a quantum advantage.

DEFENSE INNOVATION BOARD

BUILDING A DOD DATA ECONOMY

Reports & Recommendations

更多

The Defense Innovation Board provides specific recommendations, but does not implement change itself. It identifies and works with “sponsors” inside DoD to take action, creating a sustainable foundation for successful ideas to take hold.

The objective is to bring in new perspectives through recommendations relevant to the private sector and academia, encourages the imagination and critical thinking needed to consider new solutions. This process is rapid, creative, collaborative, and ultimately saves time and money while delivering new concepts at the speed of relevance.
