MP3 Current Events # 4

    This article is spreading the news about Israel's Defensive Ministry investing in an innovative research fund focused on quantum computing. A collaboration between the Defense Ministry's Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure, Higher Education Committee and the Israel Science Foundation, will "help to enhance Israel's intelligence gathering capacity." As Israel gets into quantum computing, they explain what they would be able to do with this kind of technology. One kind of use would be to get through encryption or decipher encrypted messages much faster. They could also use it to significantly contribute to "challenges of highly secure encryption for communication satellites." Quantum computing can be used to find accurate timing for navigation systems within the satellite. In short, the goal of Israel is to support research groups at their universities that will engage in research and development in the field of science and quantum technology.

    I believe this movement being made by Israel will be beneficial for both their society and our own. As we dig deeper into quantum computing, more calculations can be done and more problems can be solved. As the technology of Israel grows, so does our own. They have become a superpower in cyberspace and is looking at quantum as a strategic goal to become another competitor with us. Little do some realize that the competition that others see as a race is something that drives them to improve on our current technology. Sooner or later, our technology, driven from competition will be better before we know it.
