Quantum Power Race: How Governments and Tech Giants Are Fighting for the Future of Technology

Quantum Power Race explains why quantum computing and AI have become the new strategic frontier for governments, investors, and technology leaders. Written in a clear journalistic style, the book shows how these general-purpose technologies could reshape markets, military power, industrial policy, and national security. Rather than treating innovation as a series of isolated breakthroughs, it reveals the larger contest over the systems that turn discovery into advantage: chips, cloud infrastructure, talent pipelines, standards, data, capital, and access. Readers will learn the basics of how quantum computing works, why AI acts as a force multiplier, and why speed, scale, and deployment matter as much as scientific progress. For business leaders, policy readers, technologists, and investors, this book offers a sharp, accessible guide to the stakes of the quantum-AI race and the global competition to control the future of technology.
