Trump signs orders to boost quantum research, security
The orders set 2028 and 2030-2031 deadlines for a scientific quantum computer and federal migration to post-quantum cryptography, officials said.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump signed two executive orders in the Oval Office to accelerate quantum computing research and secure federal systems against cyber threats through post-quantum cryptography.
- To counter adversaries like China, the administration initiates new quantum sensing initiatives while setting goals for migrating government systems to post-quantum standards by 2030 or 2031.
- The Commerce Department recently provided $2 billion in federal funding to nine quantum companies, while new directives task the Pentagon with deploying quantum-enabled sensors by 2028.
- During the signing ceremony, President Trump stumbled while reading 'quantum cryptography,' prompting social media commentary; National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross stated the actions ensure American systems remain "trusted, and secure, and safe moving forward.
