The United States is experiencing a once-in-a-century acceleration in technological innovation. The artificial intelligence revolution began about three years ago with Nvidia’s accelerated computing platforms. Now, the nation stands at the dawn of the Quantum Computing revolution. Within the next two to three years, quantum computing systems are expected to conduct commercially valuable research with practical, real-world applications.President Donald Trump and senior members of his administration strongly support the quantum computing industry, the AI revolution, and the development of advanced semiconductors. The administration is investing capital and implementing policies designed to accelerate innovation across all three technologies.Last month, the president issued two executive orders intended to strengthen America’s leadership in quantum computing while hardening the nation’s infrastructure against future quantum-enabled cyber threats. Executive Order 14413 is designed to supercharge domestic quantum science. Under the order, quantum computing, together with artificial intelligence and advanced semiconductors, will become pillars of future technological innovation in the U.S. Similarly, Executive Order 14412 directly addresses the risk that foreign adversaries are collecting encrypted U.S. data today with the intention of decrypting it once practical quantum computers become available.
