You don't have to understand quantum physics to understand that we are in a worldwide 'quantum boom.' With strategic, economic, and business implications, huge investments are being made and strategic plans are being developed by countries and companies to grab such opportunities.
From quantum-secure communications and breaking supposedly unbreakable codes to computers with vastly greater capabilities and sensors with highly improved sensitivity, quantum technologies are viewed as a 'game-changer.'
This book covers R&D of all the quantum technologies - quantum computing/simulation, quantum cryptography/communications, and quantum sensing/metrology - providing unique and timely insights across Asia, including Australia, China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore.
There is a global race for leadership. Countries in Asia, particularly China, are among the front runners. In a field still with many unknowns, actionable insights without the hype are needed to inform policymakers and businesspeople to help them formulate strategies and make business decisions.
This book is a must-have resource for corporate planners, government decision-makers, researchers, and anyone interested in one of today's most exciting new technology fields. Based on extensive on-the-ground research, this book covers national quantum strategies, government programs and funding, key players such as research institutions, large companies, and start-ups, as well as specific strengths and challenges for each country.
