Quantum Technology In Future Warefare

In a classical computer, information is encoded in bits like 0 or 1; whereas in a Quantum Computer (QC), the memory unit is called a qubit and it can be in a superposition of several states. QCs have several advantages over classical computers in terms of processing power and speed. Again, Quantum Technology (QT) is an emerging field of physics and engineering based on quantum-mechanical properties, especially quantum entanglement, quantum superposition, quantum tunneling, etc. The second quantum revolution has characterized by scheming individual quantum systems like atoms, ions, electrons, photons, molecules or even quasi-particles are allowing to reach the standard quantum limit to measurement accuracy at quantum scales. QT is an emergent and potentially unsettling discipline, with the ability to affect many human activities including future warfare. Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize various fields, including cryptography, chemistry, machine learning, optimization and ship design. Very recently IBM has invented 433 qubits QC processor (IBM Osprey). QTs will dominate the future warfare in many aspects. Quantum sensing will revolutionize the future warfare in the field of detection, monitoring, controlling as well as C5IRS. There are few distinct challenges both in QC and QT, which is little discouraging; however it can anticipate that, QTs will use in the field of communication, precision, intelligence, space, medical, chemical, commercial, service and military industries in future. So, the effective and efficient use of QTs there will be revolutionizing change in future warfare and military industry.
