MIT Technology Review: The US and China are in a quantum arms race that will transform warfare
Radar that can spot stealth aircraft and other quantum innovations could give their militaries a strategic edge.
In the 1970s, at the height of the Cold War, American military planners began to worry about the threat to US warplanes posed by new, radar-guided missile defenses in the USSR and other nations. In response, engineers at places like US defense giant Lockheed Martin’s famous “Skunk Works” stepped up work on stealth technology that could shield aircraft from the prying eyes of enemy radar.
The innovations that resulted include unusual shapes that deflect radar waves—like the US B-2 bomber’s “flying wing” design (above)—as well as carbon-based materials and novel paints. Stealth technology isn’t yet a Harry Potter–like invisibility cloak: even today’s most advanced warplanes still reflect some radar waves. But these signals are so small and faint they get lost in background noise, allowing the aircraft to pass unnoticed.

WNU Editor: If we go by who is issuing the most patents when it comes to quantum research, China is beating everyone combined hands down.

Women are easy to control no honor no rules just the best for them and family that's why .
Its hilariously funny and ironic that China issues patents.
It's sad really. When we violate their patents - the law applies to us. When Chinese do it, no consequences. Imagine you get to plunder the world for decades and you get rich of it and there's no consequences. Other than you getting rich of course. That's the world we love in for decades now. Chinese get to live under one set of laws and the rest can try to compete with that. Thankfully, and much to credit to Trump, people are realising now that this needs to change like yesterday and the stolen trillions need to be paid in reparations by China. Don't care how they do it as they are going to be broke from all I can see. But they lived like kings over there with our money and I want to see the bill paid..
Just to get negotiations started :how does 7 trillion sound like? Maybe paid back over 20 years, so it won't hurt too much? That's 350bn a year, please. And of course the interest too

You are the king of irony.
