Trump Signs Executive Orders Accelerating Quantum Computing and Post-Quantum Cryptography Deadlines
Summary
President Trump signed two executive orders addressing quantum computing. The first, "Ushering in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation," aims to build a scientifically relevant quantum computer at a national lab or DOE facility by 2028, and directs multiple agencies to develop deployment plans for quantum sensors and networking within five years. The second order accelerates the federal post-quantum cryptography deadline from 2035 to December 2031, requires NIST to complete a pilot migration of federal systems by end-2027, and tasks CISA with assisting critical infrastructure operators. The article highlights Bitcoin's vulnerability to "Q-Day," when quantum computers could reverse-engineer private keys from public addresses, potentially exposing about 7 million BTC worth tens of billions of dollars.
