Submitted by on Mon, 11/27/2023 - 16:27

Quantum computing is evolving from the fantastical to the achievable. Accelerated developments show promise for leveraging quantum computing to address previously intractable problems in government. The technology can foster immense potential benefits for the public, alongside far-reaching implications from using quantum technologies are likely to be widespread. Developing “quantum-safe” capabilities is crucial to maintaining data security and integrity for critical applications. Government leaders face an urgent need to develop a quantum-safe strategy and roadmap.
