Bu çalışma, ABD ile Çin arasındaki mücadelede yeni rekabet alanı olan tam donanımlı kuantum bilgisayarına sahip olma yarışını ve kuantum bilgisayarlara sahip olmanın ayrıcalığını araştırmak için yazılmıştır. Çalışmanın konusu belirlenirken, bu alanda çok az sayıda araştırmanın yapılması dikkate alınmıştır. Mevcut çalışma, hem kuantum bilgisayarların avantajlarını hem de ABD-Çin rekabetini tam olarak aydınlatmasa da, uluslararası ilişki literatüründe, kuantum bilgisayarına ve ona sahip olmak için süper güçlerin yarışmalarına daha fazla dikkat çekmek konusunda önemlidir. Bu bağlamda, mevcut iki bölümlü çalışmanın birinci bölümünde ABD ile Çin arasındaki rekabet araştırılırken, makalenin ikinci bölümünde kuantum bilgisayarınnın sağlayacaği potansiyel fırsatlar ve ona sahip olma yarışı araştırılıyor.

The New Stage in the US-China Rivalry: The Quantum Computer

Öz

This study was written to investigate the race to own fully equipped quantum computer, which is the new competition sphere in the struggle between The USA and China, and the privilege of owning quantum computers. The subject of the existing study was determined to take into consideration the few numbers of researches in this field. Although the existing study does not fully illuminate both the advantages of quantum computers and the US-China rivalry, it is important bringing more attention in the international relation literature to a quantum computer and the competitions of superpowers to own it. In this sense, in the existing two parted study, while current rivalry between the US and China is investigated in the first chapter, the potential advances of quantum computer and the race to own it is explored in the second part of article.
