The
FBI released the below information on the threat to American Quantum Science and Technology yesterday:
World
Quantum Day, April 14, was initially conceived to ignite interest and generate
enthusiasm for quantum mechanics. It has since morphed into so much more.
Quantum information science is an emerging field with the potential to create
revolutionary advances in science and engineering and drive innovation across
the U.S. economy.
When
new technologies are the product of American ideas and research, it's the FBI's
and our security partner agencies' job to protect them. Today, adversarial
nation-states are aggressively attempting to obtain a strategic advantage over
the U.S. by stealing U.S. technologies and research know-how to help bolster
their respective government's policies that violate international
norms—including respect for rule of law, fair trade, and full scientific
research collaborative reciprocity—while damaging U.S. economic competitiveness
and harming U.S. national and economic security.
The
National Counterintelligence Task Force's (NCITF) Quantum Information Science
Counterintelligence Protection Team (QISCPT) unites the FBI with our
intelligence and security partners to protect quantum information science and
technology developed in the U.S. and like-minded nations.
Members
of the quantum ecosystem, composed of industry, academia, national labs,
investors and end users, best understand the future implications of their
research and development efforts.
"Quantum
information science and technology has the potential for enormous positive
humanitarian impact, but its implications for our economic and national
security are consequential as well," said FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate.
