A strategic analysis by IP Consultancy, ByteLaw®, argues that the United States faces a national security imperative in the global race for quantum supremacy, comparable to the advent of nuclear weapons. It posits that while investment in quantum hardware is necessary, the critical component to win the race is Explainable AI (XAI) technology developed by Pattern Computer Inc. (PCI). The analysis identifies three major national security vulnerabilities in quantum computing—instability, the difficulty of developing encryption-breaking algorithms, and slow development speed—that PCI's unique "causal AI" is designed to solve by finding hidden causes in complex, high-dimensional data. Finally, the document asserts that PCI's Pattern Discovery Engine (PDE) is a proven hypothesis engine that accelerates research and development timelines and is built for secure deployment with national labs, making it a crucial "force multiplier" for securing American technological advantage.
