Abstract

This report presents an assessment of the quantum technology industrial bases of several U.S.-allied nations that are major players in the development of quantum technology, beginning with a global look and then focusing on the quantum industrial bases of Australia, the UK, Germany, and Japan. It gives recommendations for how the United States can promote strong ties with its allies in quantum technology research and development.

An Assessment of the U.S. and Chinese Industrial Bases in Quantum Technology

Edward Parker, Daniel Gonzales, Ajay Kochhar +8 more

This report presents a flexible and repeatable set of metrics—specifically, focused on scientific research, government support, private industry activity, and technical achievement—for assessing a nation's industrial base in quantum technology. The authors apply these metrics to the United States to assess the current state of its industrial base, and they apply most of the metrics to the People's Republic of China as a comparative case study.

The Chinese Industrial Base and Military Deployment of Quantum Technology

Edward Parker

The United States and China are the leaders in quantum science and technology development. But since they focus on different applications, it is hard to assess which country is closer to military deployment. If Congress determines that quantum technology is a strategic priority, continued investment in research is paramount.

Promoting Strong International Collaboration in Quantum Technology Research and Development

Parker, Edward

This Perspective gives a broad and mostly nontechnical overview of the current quantum technology landscape and the strategic importance of (and challenges of) research collaboration with U.S. allied and partner nations. It includes a discussion of five key policy areas in this space and concludes with a proposal for a desired strategic end state that may serve as a helpful unifying framework for policy decisions on this topic.

Charting the Australian quantum landscape

Tara M. Roberson, Andrew G. White

Australia has world-class research in quantum technology, and has been a significant presence since the earliest days of the field. There has been sustained and substantial support from all levels of government, and an industrial base that has grown from a single quantum-technology company to a spectrum of businesses covering both software and hardware. Here, we discuss the Australian approach to quantum technology, briefly outlining the research and funding, discussing the current environment, and looking forward to the future.

Building Australia's Quantum Workforce: An RSQS-Governed Assessment of Global and National Training Capacity

Adamson, Greg

This 6,000-word policy and capability paper applies the RSQS framework—Relevance, Sufficiency, Quality, Structure, Delivery, and Drift-Risk—to evaluate global and Australian quantum training ecosystems. It benchmarks Australia’s research-led strengths against international workforce strategies, identifying structural gaps and proposing a Quantum Workforce Compact and a National Quantum Credential Spine (NQCS). The analysis recommends coordinated credential architecture, industry apprenticeships, and metrics aligned with the National Quantum Strategy (2023–2030). The work forms part of the Adamson Institute’s national RSQS Governance Series.

DEVELOPMENT OF QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES IN RUSSIA BASED ON INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE

Ткаченко Софья Сергеевна

The article examines the current level of quantum technologies development worldwide and specifically in Russia. Currently, the quantum technology market is in the formative stage and a limited number of countries produce competitive samples. Quantum innovations can upend a number of industries, and the possession of such technologies may give a significant boost to the development of the national economy. Despite external constraints and economic uncertainty, Russia remains a significant player in the emerging industry. With an extensive research base and some unique developments, Russia can occupy an important niche in the market and get closer to the industry leaders such as the United States and China. The study identified potential directions for the further development of quantum technologies in Russia and the ways to achieve the established goals.
