Quantum computing is moving from a long-term research priority to an increasingly important part of the national security technology landscape. Combined with AI, its potential extends well beyond faster computing. These capabilities could fundamentally change how agencies approach complex modeling, scientific discovery, and mission problems that are difficult or impossible to solve with today’s systems. The investments happening now in quantum, advanced computing, and the infrastructure behind them will help determine what’s possible in the next generation of mission technology.
