Excerpt from the “MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland regarding Science and Technology Partnership”
Securing Quantum Advantage
As the world’s leading quantum nations, the Participants are joining forces to seek to ensure the Participants are the first to realize true quantum advantage. Together, the Participants intend to build powerful quantum machines that transform defense, finance, and healthcare, protect the Participants’ citizens, and create high-skilled jobs. For example, quantum technologies could enable the simulation of complex molecules to accelerate drug discovery or optimize logistics and supply chains at a scale far beyond today’s capabilities. By combining the strength of the Participants’ national labs, the genius of their scientists, and the agility of their leading companies, the Participants intend to deliver unmatched innovation and keep their countries safe, prosperous, and leading the pack.
