The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is developing over ten experimental cyber warfare tools utilizing quantum technology, with prototypes undergoing active combat testing. The program, led by the National University of Defence Technology, aims to achieve full 'informatisation' of the armed forces by 2027.

Key research areas include quantum sensing for detecting stealth aircraft and creating secure navigation systems independent of GPS. The PLA seeks to leverage quantum advancements to counter U.S. military advantages and achieve a new asymmetric warfare capability. China aims to be a global leader in quantum science by 2030, backed by significant state funding, raising concerns for international security.
