From theory to reality: quantum computing enters the defense industry

摘要

Computers are great for solving a wide variety of problems and executing programs, but modern computers, for all their strengths, still fall short when it comes to completing extremely complicated or open-ended tasks in short periods of time. That's where quantum computers hope to fill the gap.While quantum computers were only the realm of theory and science fiction a decade ago, they are sold and used today. These computers have unique properties that enable them to solve problems conventional computers cannot. While these quantum computers are not widely used, or even widely understood, they stand to cause widespread changes in the defense industry.
