The Race for Quantum Computing: Who will achieve a strategic competitive advantage … China, Japan or the US? (new audio & ebook)

Friends, the goal of this new ebook “The Race for Quantum Computing” is to clearly define the global race for quantum computing among China, Japan and the United States. Moreover, it will identify the impact and consequences of winning this technological race … along with the strategic advantages that await the nation that wins this competition. These advantages include positive innovations in science, technology and finance. In addition, the outcome of this high stakes contest will have an immeasurable impact on military and intelligence gathering along with cybersecurity and encryption. Quantum computing is the next big technological frontier, and the race to build the first working quantum computer is heating up. A quantum computer is a type of computer that uses quantum bits, or qubits, instead of traditional bits, which allows for faster, more complex computations. This ability has the potential to revolutionize industries from finance to pharmaceuticals, and countries around the world are vying for supremacy in this field. In this article, we will explore the importance of winning the race for quantum computing and the implications for the global technological landscape.

The race for quantum computing is not just limited to the private sector, however. Governments around the world are also investing heavily in quantum research and development. In 2018, the US passed the National Quantum Initiative Act  (Daphne Leprince - February 9, 2019), which provides $1.2 billion over five years to support quantum research and development. China is also investing heavily in quantum technology, with the government aiming to build a $10 billion quantum research facility by 2024.

“Transformation of the Global Education System - The Disruptive Impact of AI, Mixed Reality and Next Gen Knowledge Workers” (book on Amazon Audible & Kindle)

Friends, the new “Transformation of the Global Education System” book provides students, educators and administrators alike with valuable insights into the disruptive, yet beneficial, transformation which will occur in the global education system during the next 3-5 years and beyond. Although these trends will not happen immediately, their impact will be far-reaching and global in nature. This transformation will be driven by the combinatorial impact of artificial intelligence, mixed or immersive reality and the rise of next generation knowledge workers across most industries and sectors. Stakeholders who chose to embrace change will directly contribute to the advancement of 21st century education and society. Students are major students as stakeholders in education in the transformation we seek in global education. It is time to equip and nurture their skills, talents, and aspirations to bring about the change we seek in the world. For learners to function optimally in an interconnected world, educators must make deliberate efforts towards the quality of education made available.
