Hey Everyone,

I hope you had a good break. I believe Quantum technologies will be more implicated in National Security and global issues concerning the Pentagon and National Defense more than ever in 2024.

It was noted that recently Russia and China successfully tested quantum communication over satellite — 3,800-kilometer test explores possible encrypted networks for BRICS countries.

Some analysts now believe that the DARPA, Harvard breakthrough brings quantum computing years closer. Researchers working with the Optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (ONISQ) program say they have created the world’s first quantum circuit using logical quantum bits (qubits).

DARPA is thus likely to increases its partnerships and collaboration in 2024 and 2025.
