President Donald Trump signed two executive orders Monday aimed at accelerating quantum computing development and strengthening cybersecurity as Washington intensifies its competition with China in the race for quantum leadership.
Quantum Push Targets Emerging Technology An order seeks to accelerate quantum computing development, including a national effort to deploy a quantum computer capable of supporting advanced scientific research by 2028.
Trump also signed an order on cybersecurity, requiring federal agencies to transition critical systems to quantum-resistant encryption between 2030 and 2031 in preparation for future quantum-enabled cyber threats.
Trump said the measures would strengthen America's position as the world leader "in this very important, emerging field," in a post shared by Futurum Equities’ Chief Market Strategist Shay Boloor on X.
