Abstract: Emerging technologies are principal factors facilitating the predicted transformative changes that the Fourth Industrial Revolution is anticipated to generate during the 21st Century. Quantum computing is an emerging technology accelerating and necessitating innovations in cybersecurity. This quantitative and qualitive research analyzed current innovations involving quantum-computing-based cybersecurity and their implications for national security. We reviewed relevant post-quantum schemes against current technologies, emerging technologies, and standards; our evaluation derived the characteristics of those schemes towards their potential impact on the global community. The study further examined how quantum superiority has introduced a quantum arms race among nations seeking supremacy and how it intensifies the probability of nation-state conflict. Our findings and recommendations revealed an alarming research and adoption gap between quantum-computing-based cybersecurity and other quantum research. The research’s resulting recommendations identify apposite approaches for addressing national and international conflict.
