Lockheed Martin has launched a dedicated center to develop quantum technologies for military applications, including sensing, navigation, communications, and computing.
The Lockheed Martin Quantum Innovation Center (QuIC) will bring the company’s 15-year quantum research and prototype work under one organization focused on moving the technology toward defense applications.
Rather than focusing solely on quantum computing, the center will work across several areas, including quantum sensing and navigation and timing.
QuIC will also integrate technology developed outside Lockheed Martin, including products from companies backed by its venture capital arm.
US Pushes Quantum Technology Quantum technology uses properties of matter at very small scales to perform measurements, calculations, and other tasks that can be difficult or impossible with conventional systems.
