As the world's two superpowers engage in an increasingly high-stakes technological competition, a new frontier is emerging in the quest for quantum supremacy: computers powered by the principles of quantum physics. The U.S. and China are locked in a heated race to develop these revolutionary machines, which promise to exponentially speed up complex calculations and potentially disrupt the global balance of power. Quantum computers have the potential to crack even the most secure encryption codes, raising concerns about national security and the integrity of sensitive information. As the stakes grow higher, the question on everyone's mind is: who will be the first to harness the power of quantum physics and reap the benefits of this groundbreaking technology?
The U.S. and China are racing to develop computers based on the properties of quantum physics – with implications for science and security.
