Europe’s quantum moment

BOSTON – By now, it is obvious that the European Union must confront its lack of military might and economic competitiveness. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has declared that America is no longer “primarily focused on Europe’s security.” Mario Draghi’s 2024 report on European competitiveness warned that the EU must foster innovation to maintain its industrial relevance. Clearly, relying on past alliances and inherited advantages is no longer a viable option for Europe. Addressing these challenges will require building new alliances and developing new advantages – especially in quantum computing. While much has been said about AI’s ability to shift the balance of global power, the quieter quantum revolution promises to generate equally meaningful breakthroughs in industry, cybersecurity, and defense strategy. And whereas the EU lags far behind China and the United States in AI and advanced semiconductors, it still has a chance to lead in quantum technologies. But the window is closing fast. Quantum computing isn’t just a faster version of classical computing – it isWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
