An Assessment of the U.S. and Chinese Industrial Bases in Quantum Technology

This report presents a flexible and repeatable set of metrics?specifically, focused on scientific research, government support, private industry activity, and technical achievement?for assessing a nation?s industrial base in quantum technology. The authors apply these metrics to the United States to assess the current state of its industrial base, and they apply most of the metrics to the People?s Republic of China as a comparative case study.
