Details

This document critically surveys UK research and development in quantum information processing (QIP) hardware and software to inform what Ministry of Defence (MOD) investment should be considered to give defence and security benefit from QIP during the near term (Era 1, 2020 to 2025), medium term (Era 2, 2025 to 2030) and further into the future (Era 3, 2030 and beyond). Special attention is directed towards any disruptive benefits which are likely to result from early adoption of this emerging technology during Era 1.

This document has been prepared for MOD and, unless indicated, may be used and circulated in accordance with the conditions of the Order under which it was supplied. It may not be used or copied for any non-governmental or commercial purpose without the written agreement of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl).
