Quantum computing could be utilized by the U.S government to bolster cyber-security.
“It’s imperative that U.S government agencies and private sector corporations immediately begin migrating vulnerable cybersecurity protocols to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). PQC could safeguard this sensitive government and critical industry data from these cybersecurity attacks.” (Cyber Scoop).
Entanglement is a “a next-gen quantum computing and AI company founded in 2017.” (Forbes). Groq, Inc, “a U.S. semiconductor company, to allow the Army to try out their proprietary technology.” (Forbes).
“During the COVID pandemic the Pentagon validated an Entanglement platform that used a quantum simulator to optimize distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) throughout the U.S. The Entanglement platform showed a 90 percent improved performance over the algorithm that had been considered the state of the art.” (Forbes).
The technology proved to be useful and reliable.

Cyber security is an ever adapting and advancing field with more sophisticated threats requiring more sophisticated cyber security prevention methods.
“Cybersecurity clients like the Pentagon and the federal government are waking up to the fact that, until now, we’ve been like the farmer who devises ever more sophisticated locks for his barn door after the horses have been stolen—while the thief devises ever more sophisticated lock picks. Cybersecurity solutions in the coming decade are going to look very different from their predecessors. Entanglement, Inc, is one of the companies showing us where that future lies.” (Forbes).
