Scientists are well on their way to figuring out quantum computing and will soon be able to use non-linear mathematical Atomic Spin Simulation Computers for all sorts of things from light communication to complex cryptonics decoding. There are many labs working feverishly on these things now and soon it will be a reality.
Indeed these technologies are all based in theory, yet the first team to unlock such mysteries will have the upper hand in future technological advances, military and secret encryption. You can bet that the United States of America is well on their way to being that team. Who else is thinking here?
