10 Broadcaster Press July 31, 2018 www.broadcasteronline.com U.S. Must Win The Race Against China And Europe On Quantum Computing By Sen. John Thune For the last several decades, America's lead in cutting-edge technology has helped propel our economy and national security. America is now in a race with China and Europe to develop the next technological breakthroughs based on the power of quantum science. It's a race we must win. We have introduced the National Quantum Initiative Act of 2018 to help align and accelerate public and private research and development of quantum science. Like earlier national endeavors involving space and nuclear energy, the race to quantum computing has immense economic and national security implications for the U.S. The tiny, tiny universe of quantum physics — atoms, protons, THANK YOU To The Supporters Of Our 2018 Summer Reading Program John Lushbough Cathy Beard Buddy from South Dakota Jill Macy National Music Museum Public Broadcasting Tom & Nancy Nelson Catholic Daughters Navigant Jan Chapman Sandy & Clarence Pederson Chuck Kunstle Andreea Picioroaga Clay County Steve Rokusek from Caitlin Collier South Dakota Public Dairy Queen Broadcasting John Davidson Susan Rolfes Delta Kappa Gamma ETA Sharon & Richard Ross Cindi & Bill Dendinger Tom & Peggy Schaack Epsilon Sigma Alpha Judith Sebesta Aaron Fader Jan & Gary Small Dean & Vikki Fix Spader Betty Smith FOE Sunshine Auxiliary Jessica Foster from Hy-Vee South Dakota Shakespeare Festival Bob & Faith Freese Ethan Simmons Friends of the Vermillion Ann Stewart Public Library Kameran Taylor Carol & Tom Geu Mary Ulrich Amy Hay Vermillion Parks Janet Hoff & Recreation Lauren Hollenbeck Vermillion Fern Kaufman Book 66: Answers Rotary Sudoku #1 Vermillion Theatres Patricia Kozak 4 6 7 8 5 3 2 1 9 Walmart Phil LaDouceur 5 2 8 1 9 6 3 7 4 1Jenna 2 7 4 6 5 8 9 3 Wilhelm 8Yankton 4 2 1Literacy 7 5 3 Area 9 6 2 1 9 7 6 8 4 3 5 Council 3 4 6 5 1 9 8 2 7 9 8 1 4 2 7 5 6 3 7 3 2 6 8 5 9 4 1 18 Church St., Vermillion 6 5 4 9 3 1 7 8 2 605-677-7060 Sudoku #3 3 7 2 9 6 5 4 8 1 electrons, photons — looms very, very large in our future. Quantum science explores and exploits subtle aspects of quantum physics, such as the idea that subatomic particles can exist in many possible states at the same time, known as "quantum superposition." This will lead to valuable, real-world applications. Book 66 For example, conventional computing uses a series of tiny, electronic on-off switches within Sudoku #1 a processing chip. Technological advances have made possible supercomputers that can perform a series of on-off operations at astonishing speeds. But classical computing technology is nearing its limits. Quantum computing, however, is different. Rather than a series of ultra-high speed on-off switches, quantum computers rely on "qbits." These are subatomic particles that are both on and off at the same time. This property and other quantum phenomena will enable quantum computers to perform complex calculations at speeds that 6 1 7 9 3 5 6 6 2 4 3 6 3 6 5 1 4 bpp b Since 1934 Since 1934 B tional Quantum Coordination Office national security information as well are potentially millions of times and codifies an interagency Subcomas proprietary technologies and faster than today's most advanced mittee on Quantum Information Scieven the personal information of supercomputers. ence within the White House Office individuals.
