Across the U.S. Air Force’s research arm, scientists are developing quantum information science capabilities in four key areas of interest to the service: timing; sensing; communications and networking; and computing. Experts at the Air Force Research Laboratory, known as AFRL, are also investigating the development of enabling technologies, which will springboard the use of quantum capabilities in the four areas. The goal is to first take quantum-based timing and sensing technologies, which are at a near breakthrough point, and move them from the lab into field applications in the next few years, while pursuing longer-term development of quantum computing, communications and networking.
