Echoing the findings of ITIF's report on Chinese quantum innovation, Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) wrote to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on October 3, 2024, saying, “China is pursuing advances in quantum information science, some of which outstrip the efforts of the United States in scale and scope. To ensure that the United States maintains its technological advantage, DOD must have a strategic plan to integrate quantum sensing into our national security efforts.”
