The race for quantum computing superiority (with Klon Kitchen)

Published: June 15, 2021, 10 a.m.

Due to their ability to calculate multiple complex variables at the same time, quantum computers are poised to permanently change how technology exists in society. But with the advent of quantum computing comes several risks to the US across a range of fields, including national security. How can the US sufficiently advance its quantum computing capabilities and manage the risks that come with them?\n\nOn this episode, Shane is joined by Klon Kitchen, an AEI resident fellow in foreign and defense policy. Klon writes frequently on the intersection of technology and national security, and recently published an AEI report titled \u201cQuantum computing: A national security primer.\u201d He joins the podcast to discuss this report and explain what\u2019s at stake for the US in the race for quantum computing superiority.
