Conclusion

There have been times over the last few years when I have felt that it is almost unfair that technological supremacy could result in a superpower nation or organization. That is especially true when it comes to quantum computing. However, there are several aspects of quantum computing that are being researched across the world. Therefore, I genuinely hope we will have several superpowers, each taking the lead on one aspect of quantum technology.

Dominating one aspect of quantum technology such as quantum communication may be an enviable position. China has definitely taken the lead when it comes to quantum communication. Their quantum satellite experiments have put them ahead of the pack. However, there is still much to be achieved in quantum computing. There are challenges when quantum particles are used to transmit information or model problems. Some of these roadblocks need to be addressed to gain complete dominance through quantum technology breakthroughs.
