Trump signs executive orders to accelerate US quantum computing development by 2028
President Donald Trump signed executive orders to accelerate quantum computing development, aiming to build a machine capable of scientific research by 2028. The technology is nearing commercialization with several firms going public this year. Quantum computing promises to speed up drug discovery and materials science, but also poses risks of supercharging cyber warfare. Google warned that firms should prepare for "post-quantum cryptography" by 2029. The orders reflect an increasingly tech-interventionist approach by the US government.
