Jerusalem Post: Where is Israel in US-China quantum supremacy race? 

Like many other technological areas, the US and China are in a race to see who will dominate the quantum computing sector. 

As the US and China battle it out for quantum computing supremacy, where does Israel fit into the picture? 

The theme of a zoom conference organized by the Maryland/Israel Development Center and the University of Maryland on Wednesday was “How Quantum Computing Will Revolutionize the World: Maryland and Israeli Experts Weigh In,” but one of the speakers did discuss the ongoing race between Washington and Beijing.

Dr. Tal David, who heads the Israel National Quantum Initiative, noted that America has instituted a ban on the export of various quantum technologies to China and that the Chinese are in the process of responding in kind. 

There is also a process starting within the EU to limit exports of quantum technology to non-EU members, which could impact Israel, England, Switzerland and others. Like many other technological areas, the US and China are in a race to see who will dominate the quantum computing and other related quantum sectors.

Quantum computing is full of hope. That said, that's not to be a reality for tomorrow morning. Remember: quantum theory is a ...based on probability.
