Communications: Making Quantum Computing Real for JADC2 With Qiskit: Quantum Enabling Technologies for Applications to Support Communication and Networking: White Paper Submitted for the Global Competition: AFRL Innovare Million Dollar International Quantum U Tech Accelerator

Abstract

Our research objective is making quantum computing real with Qiskit for USAF-Pentagon JADC2 (Joint All Domain Command & Control) thus contributing to USAF-DoD core missions. JADC2 is the US Air Force led and Joint Staff coordinated key effort central to Joint Services C4I-ISR and C2 (Command & Control) integration enabling the new Joint Warfighting Concept for All-Domain Operations. The resulting ‘New American Way of War’ is anticipated to yield “significant advantage over everybody in the world for a long time” according to the Vice-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General John Hyten.

Keywords: C5ISR, Command & Control, Quantum Computing, Qiskit, Defense & Space, Joint All Domain Operations, Beyond JADC2: JADAC2-JADCAC2, Beyond Lethality Doctrine
