Trump signs two executive orders to advance quantum computer deployment for scientific research by 2028

Odaily Planet Daily News According to reports from the Wall Street Journal, Trump has signed two executive orders aimed at accelerating the development of advanced quantum computers and mitigating the security threats they pose. One of the executive orders, signed on Monday, directs federal agencies, including the Department of Energy, to collaborate with the private sector and academia to deploy a quantum computer capable of scientific research by 2028. Achieving such a target is considered a key indicator of demonstrating the technology's practical application capabilities.

Quantum computers are capable of solving problems far faster than traditional supercomputers, making them an area of increasing strategic importance globally. The second executive order signed by Trump requires government agencies and security experts to prepare for quantum systems that could break standard encryption systems faster than anticipated. Its goal is to strengthen security systems in both government and the private sector, preventing advanced quantum hacking attacks from crippling critical infrastructure.
