As the quantum era accelerates, a new front in global tech rivalry has emerged—the Quantum Race between the United States and China. In this episode of Emerging Tech Debates, we dive deep into the quantum revolution: what makes quantum tech different, why it matters for national security, and how it could reshape the geopolitical order.
Backed by our detailed briefing document, The Quantum Race and Geopolitical Implications, we explore:
What makes qubits and quantum entanglement so powerful
Why quantum computing and communication are seen as game-changers for military and cyber strategy
China's bold push for quantum supremacy and satellite-based QKD
The role of quantum patents and tech self-reliance in a divided global race
How quantum encryption could reshape alliances, surveillance, and deterrence
Parallels between quantum militarization and autonomous weapons in South Asia
The strategic limits of sanctions, and the threat of a fragmented quantum internet
Whether you're a policy analyst, tech researcher, or just quantum-curious, this episode offers a clear, digestible, and insightful breakdown of the most critical front in the U.S.-China rivalry—and why it’s about much more than just faster computers.
Tune in now for a sharp, informed take on the emerging tech that's redefining global power.
