Two of the most promising technologies are superconductors (which isolate an electrical current by eliminating electrical resistance) and ion traps (which confine a single ion using electromagnetic fields). Harrison Brooks is a current graduate student in the School of International Service’s Global Governance, Politics, and Security program. Harrison is interested in exploring the potential implications of artificial intelligence and quantum computing for intelligence, warfare, and global competition. The U.S. government has begun taking measures to protect information from quantum cryptanalysis and grapple with questions about global governance of quantum technologies. The National Institute of Standards and Technology is compiling general… Read More
