Quantum Computing Priorities

Assessing the global quantum computing landscape to identify strategic vulnerabilities, alliance opportunities, and policy frameworks for maintaining U.S. leadership in this transformative technology.

The Race to Quantum Advantage

Quantum computing promises capabilities that will reshape cryptography, drug discovery, materials science, and military operations. The United States and China are investing billions in the race to the first practical quantum computer. This project tracks the global competition, assesses where U.S. advantages are durable or fragile, and identifies the investments that matter most.

Preparing for Q-Day

When cryptographically-relevant quantum computers arrive, they will break the encryption protecting everything from financial transactions to classified communications. The data harvested today will be decryptable tomorrow. Our analysis assesses the transition to post-quantum cryptography and identifies what policymakers must do now to minimize disruption.
