Trump Signs Orders For Quantum Computer, Cryptography Upgrades<\/span><\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Monday to push to build a quantum computer and to focus on creating cryptography that can resist quantum attacks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00a0orders<\/a>\u00a0aim to take a \u201ccohesive, whole-of-government approach\u201d to accelerate the deployment and commercialization of quantum computing and \u201cprotect sensitive technologies and work with allies to ensure adversaries cannot use QIST [Quantum Information Science and Technology] to undermine national security.\u201d<\/p>\n

The orders come as China ramps up its quantum computing ambitions following the\u00a0announcement<\/a>\u00a0of its \u201cFive-Year Plan\u201d in March,<\/strong> which aims to expand investment in scalable quantum computers and the development of an integrated space-earth quantum communication network.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s orders state that within 180 days, relevant agencies must update the National Quantum Strategy to support commercialization and industry partnerships.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Various agencies are also tasked with identifying implications of increasing scale and performance of commercial\u00a0quantum computers<\/a>, \u201csuch as the implications for the migration to post-quantum cryptography.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The order also establishes Quantum Computer for Application Development and Discovery Science (QC-ADDS), a national effort to pursue the development of a quantum computer at a scale intended to \u201cinitiate the era of quantum-enabled scientific discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Focus on post-quantum cryptography<\/h2>\n

The other executive\u00a0order<\/a>\u00a0aims to secure the US against quantum-assisted cryptographic attacks and is more focused on upgrading to post-quantum cryptography.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to be investing in American quantum leadership like never before to stay ahead of the pack,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Trump said.<\/p>\n

The order directs the Office of Management and Budget and the National Cyber Director to lead an accelerated, nationwide migration to post-quantum cryptography, ensuring the nation\u2019s data stays secure as quantum technology evolves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe advent of large-scale quantum computers, particularly in the hands of adversaries, will pose a significant threat to widely used cryptographic security systems,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>the order said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Major crypto blockchains such as\u00a0Ethereum<\/a>\u00a0and Solana have already started working on post-quantum roadmaps, while the Bitcoin community is\u00a0still divided<\/a>\u00a0on how to approach securing old coins against the quantum threat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
