Navy eyes quantum tech to simulate warfighting probabilities

U.S. Navy experts are leading a diverse variety of research and development pursuits to strategically prepare for the approaching era of post-quantum cryptography — and to reap the benefits of next-generation quantum technologies for defense and national security missions.

“I think it’s going to be exciting to see what happens here,” Dr. Dan Gunlycke, the Naval Research Laboratory’s lead for quantum computing and technical director of the Naval Quantum Computing Program Office in the Department of the Navy, told DefenseScoop on Tuesday.
