Quantum computing presents a unique challenge for U.S. industrial policy. Unlike sectors such as drones, batteries, or rare earth metals, where the government can stimulate the market through procurement and regulation, the quantum field is at a stage where commercial products are virtually nonexistent, the dominant architecture is undefined, and production chains are only just forming. This is precisely why early government intervention may be justified—before critical dependencies take shape...
