Document Introduction

The scientific breakthroughs in quantum mechanics in the 20th century gave rise to key technologies such as nuclear energy and semiconductors. In the 21st century, quantum technology, as an emerging field based on the manipulation of individual quantum systems, is profoundly influencing the development of the military domain. This report focuses on the application prospects of quantum technology abroad, centering on core principles such as quantum superposition, quantum coherence, and quantum entanglement, to systematically analyze its application potential and development trends in military scenarios.

The report first clarifies the definition of quantum technology, its core principles, and the composition of quantum systems, laying a theoretical foundation. It then outlines the quantum technology development strategies of major countries and regions such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, including policy documents like the U.S. National Quantum Initiative Act and the UK National Quantum Strategy, as well as related annual investment scales and long-term plans.

In the technical application analysis section, the report focuses on deconstructing the military value of three core areas: quantum sensors, quantum communication, and quantum computing. Among these, quantum sensors cover subdivided types such as imaging, inertial, gravity, and magnetic sensors, detailing their application advantages in scenarios like target detection, navigation and positioning, anti-submarine and anti-mine warfare, and underground facility reconnaissance. Quantum communication focuses on the security and confidentiality of information transmission, analyzing the development status and application prospects of technologies such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and quantum digital signatures. Quantum computing discusses core applications including encryption cracking, optimization of military operation planning, and acceleration of intelligence processing.

Based on publicly available strategic documents from various countries, progress in technology R&D projects, and expert predictions, the report clarifies the maturity and military application timelines of different quantum technologies. Examples include the integration plan for quantum inertial sensors in submarine navigation systems and the deployment expectations for quantum magnetic sensors in anti-submarine warfare. Simultaneously, the report also points out the limitations of current technological development, such as the cost and size challenges of long-range quantum radar.

As a professional analysis focusing on military applications, this report provides a fact-based reference for understanding the impact of quantum technology on future warfare models, adjustments to military doctrine, and strategic stability. It holds significant decision-support value for defense researchers, policy analysts, and practitioners in related fields.
