Quantum leaps:Transforming data centers & energy

We are making Quantum Leaps. I am not referring to the 80s/90s TV show, but rather, I am referring to quantum computing and competing for better and faster artificial intelligence. 

Quantum computing is a field that excites me to my core. I’ve always been driven by pursuing what’s next, whether mastering tactics in the Marines or navigating complex policy challenges in government.

Quantum computing feels like the ultimate “what’s next.” Its potential to solve problems in seconds that would take today’s supercomputers millennia is a quantum leap. I talked a bit about Quantum Computing in one of my recent newsletters.

However, potential doesn’t turn into reality without investment of time, money, and strategic resources. My experience has shown me that technological superiority is a strategic advantage, and right now, nations and companies worldwide are racing to claim the quantum crown.

We risk falling behind if we don’t pour resources into research, development, and deployment. This is more than an opportunity; it’s a call to action. We must invest heavily and deliberately to ensure quantum computing becomes a cornerstone of our competitive edge.
