Explore the critical role of Multi-Enterprise Spanning Architecture (MESA) in helping to enable controlled collaboration and securing sensitive information across mission partners.

Quantum computing is an emerging technology with potentially far-reaching implications for national prosperity and security. The maturity of currently-available quantum computers is not yet at a level such that they can be used in production for large-scale, industrially-relevant problems, and they are not believed to currently pose security risks. However, four trends — new algorithms, error mitigation, circuit knitting, and the commerc...
