Quantum Revolution: A Strategic Military Imperative

We are on the cusp of the Second Quantum Revolution—a shift in technology that leverages the fundamental

laws of physics to achieve computational, sensing, and communication capabilities exponentially

beyond classical limits. This isn't just an upgrade; it is a change in the

character of war itself. We will examine the four key pillars of quantum's military

influence, and the strategic urgency for the U.S. Army.

The power of quantum computing rests on two principles: Superposition, where a quantum

bit, or qubit, exists as both 0 and 1 simultaneously, allowing for massive

parallel calculation. And Entanglement, where linked qubits share their fate instantly,
