QUANTUM SUPREMACY. WHO WILL WIN THE RACE? The issue of quantum supremacy is increasingly of concern to the world's leading powers. Representatives of the scientific and economic community agree that the country that will win the race to create a full-fledged quantum computer will gain information, economic and military superiority. Huge funds are invested in the development of quantum computing. Governments establish special agencies to encourage the development of quantum technologies.
We have found the most interesting articles on this topic and suggest you make sure how serious this is: «
Beijing is striving to become a world leader in quantum technology through large-scale state-guided investments, which may total tens of billions of dollars in the years to come. Under its 13th five-year plan, introduced in 2016, China has launched a “megaproject” for quantum communications and computing, which aims to achieve major breakthroughs in these technologies by 2030, including the expansion of China’s national quantum communications infrastructure, the development of a general quantum computer prototype, and the construction of a practical quantum simulator. China is also building the National Laboratory for Quantum Information Sciences, which, with over $1 billion in initial funding, could emerge as a key center of gravity for future research and development».
What about another big player in this field? “China’s emergence as a serious contender in quantum science underlines the need for
the United States to take steps to preserve its competitiveness. Recently, it has begun to do so. In Sep 2018, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the National Quantum Initiative Act, calling for the creation of National Quantum Information Science Research Centers within the Department of Energy. And earlier this week, the White House convened a quantum summit with business leaders and launched a new National Strategic Overview for Quantum Information Science. During the summit, the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy both announced further funding for quantum research.”

A typical example is the UK: “In 2013, the government embarked on the first phase of the National Quantum Programme, an ambitious initiative to back the UK’s quantum sector and accelerate the road from the laboratory to commercialisation, committing £270 million to creating a new industry.
The Autumn Budget reaffirmed quantum’s position at the heart of Britain’s modern industrial strategy, with the chancellor making the case for the sector and promising further funds to drive progress. Parliament’s science and technology select committee has this month shown its hand and wholeheartedly backed the government in commissioning the second phase of the National Quantum programme, advocating the UK seize the top spot internationally and reap the economic, technological and societal benefits that are to be gained.”
