- Abstract: Quantum computing promises to help humanity solve problems that would
otherwise be intractable on classical computers. Unlike today's machines,
quantum computers use a novel computing process that leverages the foundational
quantum mechanical laws of nature. This unlocks unparalleled compute power for
certain applications and promises to help solve some of our generation's
gravest challenges, including the climate crisis, food insecurity, and
widespread disease. No one entity will be able to realize this end state alone.
Developing a fault-tolerant quantum supercomputer and a vibrant ecosystem
around it will require deep partnerships between industry, governments, and
academia. It will also require collective action to enable and promote positive
applications of quantum computing and ensure that the safe and responsible use
of the technology is at the center of its development and deployment. Achieving
these objectives will require focusing on three priorities:
1. Impact. Ensure quantum computing benefits all of humankind by developing
quantum solutions to solve critical, global problems.
2. Use. Protect against malicious use by accelerating the deployment of
quantum-safe cryptography and developing governance processes and controls for
the responsible use of quantum machines.
3. Access. Democratize the potential for economic growth across all of
society through skilling, workforce and ecosystem development, and digital
infrastructure.
This paper discusses each in turn.
