Quantum computing has long been seen as an “esoteric” discipline, the dominion of pure research, a laboratory science, a mysterious form of knowledge as intriguing as black holes. But that was then. This is now. And today, everybody is talking about quantum.

As countries around the world continue to build and roll out 5G radio access and mobile networks, scientists and engineers are already turning their attention to 6G. This future generation of wireless communication technology, which we can expect by 2030, is 100 times faster and offers far better coverage than 5G—including in space!
