    Quantum in Space: Satellites, Timing, and the Geopolitics of Global Quantum Infrastructure

    Space turns the quantum race into an infrastructure competition. What began as a laboratory contest for quantum computing and communications is rapidly moving into orbit. In 2016, Chinese scientists cheered as the Micius satellite (the world’s first quantum communications satellite) linked two ground stations with unbreakable quantum keys. A decade…

    Quantum Sovereignty in Practice: When Geopolitics Becomes Architecture

    At its core, quantum sovereignty means having full control over the critical layers of quantum technology domestically - the ability to design, manufacture, and operate quantum systems without external dependency. In practice, this implies a country could build a complete full-stack quantum ecosystem entirely within its national borders: from quantum…

    Quantum Human Capital Controls as Geopolitics

    Quantum sovereignty is talent-constrained. In the race for quantum technology leadership, a skilled workforce has become a strategic asset - and a policy battleground. Nations are increasingly treating talent as a key lever of geopolitics, shaping immigration visas, research-security screening, and even export control rules around the goal of securing…

    Sovereign Quantum Clouds and National Control

    Quantum computing is rapidly shifting from lab prototypes to cloud-based services. Most organizations will access quantum capabilities “as a service” through cloud platforms, rather than owning a quantum computer on-premise. This shift reframes the sovereignty debate. The question is no longer simply “Who owns the qubits?” but rather “Who controls…

      Quantum Sensing and Navigation as Sovereignty

      Quantum sensing leverages quantum phenomena (entanglement, superposition, etc.) to achieve measurement precision beyond classical limits. Importantly, many quantum sensors are nearing deployable maturity, unlike quantum computers that remain experimental. Atomic clocks, quantum optical gyroscopes, gravity sensors and the like are transitioning from labs to real-world pilots. This means a nation that leads in quantum PNT and sensing could secure strategic benefits sooner than one betting…
