You don’t need a physics degree to understand that advancements in computer technology could rapidly transform our world. Congress is funding it, agencies are preparing for it, and industry is racing to build it. The possibilities are endless.

Quantum computing leverages physics at the atomic scale to potentially solve problems that today’s computers can’t, with impacts across policy areas like cybersecurity, supply chains, energy and healthcare. Today, D.C. policymakers, industry leaders, and civil servants must understand how to turn physics breakthroughs into federal capability, while protecting the public interest.

Learn where the technology stands, how quickly it’s approaching the federal landscape, and how you can partner with industry experts to prepare for regulatory, economic and security implications.
