President Trump has signed two executive orders intended to accelerate the development of the U.S. quantum computing industry and address associated national security concerns. The directives aim to solidify the country's position in the global race for advanced computing power, treating the technology as a critical frontier for both scientific innovation and economic competitiveness.
A primary goal of the new orders is the deployment of a quantum computer capable of conducting scientific research by 2028. To meet this ambitious target, federal agencies—including the Department of Energy—are directed to expand collaborations with academic institutions and the private sector.
