China is leading in quantum computing.
Yahoo Finance· 2025-08-13 21:21
China is by far investing more in quantum than any other country. They're leading at about 17 billion. If we take Europe, the EU, all those countries together, it's about 11 billion and the US is at about 5 billion.So, we are behind China significantly. In fact, all the countries in the world are well behind China. So it's important for the US to really start focusing on a better strategy for quantum and really to up that investment.There are a number of different approaches to developing quantum computers. ...
