Quantum Computing: The New Global Powerhouse in the Post-AI Era
From AI to Quantum Computing, the global technological competition is entering a new chapter as the United States, China, and Europe accelerate investment in technology development and build strategic advantages in industries that many believe will transform the global economy in the future.
Looking back to the period between 2023 and 2026, the tech world was driven by intense competition in artificial intelligence (AI). Since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in late 2023, which sparked a global Generative AI craze, the market value of leading technology companies increased by trillions of dollars. NVIDIA's stock soared to become one of the world's most valuable companies, while Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta competed to invest in data centers, processors, and AI infrastructure like never before. But... In 2026, new signs are increasingly emerging that the world's superpowers are opening a new arena of competition: Quantum computing is a technology that many believe could reshape the economic balance, security, and competitiveness of countries for decades to come.
