Advancements in quantum networks in the United States:Research progress and military application prospects
A comprehensive overview of the key developmental milestones and the national strategic framework of quantum networks in the United States is introduced.It delves into the funding landscape and current research status of the U.S.military in quantum networks,while also exploring potential military applications in this domain.Additionally,a forward-looking perspective on the evolving trends within quantum networks is provided.Quantum communication represents an innovative technology in which quantum properties,such as superposition and entanglement,are harnessed to utilize quantum states as carriers for the transmission of information.Building on quantum communication,quantum networks demonstrate significant potential in military applications,particularly in secure information communication and collaborative warfare.As the U.S.progresses in quantum networks,the"Second Quantum Revolution",focused on the proactive and precise manipulation of quantum properties in microsystems,fundamentally reshapes the landscape and strategies of warfare.
