Quantum technology exploits the unique quantum features of superposition, entanglement, and fundamental metrology metrics in order to create new opportunities in secure communication, high-precision sensing, and revolutionary computers. Quantum technology may eventually underlie a whole new technological infrastructure, much as the semiconductor revolution changed everything in last half of the 20th century. This paper summarizes the motivations and goals for the National Quantum Initiative (NQI) in the United States, and describes some of the processes that led to the introduction and passage of legislation in the US Congress to create the NQI.

Purpose: The study investigates implication of quantum computing to Indonesia’s national resilience, focussing on digital security and governance. Study Design/Methodology/Approach: The study use descriptive qualitative approach supported by literature-based analysis of international and domestic sources published between 2018 and 2025. Findings: The study finds that major powers like United States, China, and the European Union have launched coordinated quantum ecosystem research that can influence global value chains and security. For Indonesia, ATHG from quantum computing are large-scale decryption of public key cryptography and the HNDL threats because Indonesia still have human resource limitations, inadequate research infrastructure, and the the lack of integrated regulatory framework. Therefore, the study propose short term strategy to build roadmap for post-quantum cryptography and cryptographic asset inventory and national digital coordination, and long-term strategies to develop technological independence and quantum advanced education. Originality/Value: This study integrates quantum computing into the national resilience framework and provides actionable policy directions to strengthen Indonesia’s technological sovereignty in the quantum revolution.

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.
