Abstract

The concepts of quantum physics are applied in technological applications through quantum technology (QTech). Generally speaking, QTech has not yet matured, but it may have substantial effects on future military communications, encryption, and sensing, as well as congressional oversight, authorization, and budgets. A new and potentially revolutionary field called quantum technologies could have an impact on many aspects of daily life. The defence and security industry, as well as military and government organizations, are interested in quantum technologies because they have two unique applications. This paper examines and maps the potential military applications of QTech and serves as a springboard for further investigation into morality, military and governmental strategy, decision-making, and policy as well as assessments of international peace and security. In military applications, quantum technologies ...
