Abstract

As an emerging technology, quantum technology claims to have a tremendous impact on all spheres of social activity, as well as to significantly change the perception of war and peace, diversify the nature of security threats, opening up new, previously unknown layers in them. The development of quantum technologies is of exceptional importance for small states in terms of defense and security, because due to some important features (efficiency, speed, accuracy, dataflow security) it can offset the scarcity of resources (financial, material and human) typical of small countries, enabling the opportunity to address the issues of low efficiency due to the lack of scale effect, and serve as a factor of achieving an asymmetric advantage over potential adversaries. The article presents general considerations on the benefits of this revolutionary technology, map the possibilities of its military application, and outline the prospects for small states that quantum technologies may make possible.
