"We are going to be investing in American quantum leadership like never before." The post Trump Orders Construction of Powerful Quantum Computer appeared first on Futurism.

President Trump signed a pair of executive orders Monday aimed at boosting research into quantum computing and strengthening security practices in preparation for a post-quantum world. Quantum computing relies on quantum physics to solve complex problems much faster than traditional computers.

The White House is drastically shortening the deadline for government agencies and organizations to adopt new quantum-resistant encryption systems that will withstand attacks that use quantum computers, as the federal government seeks to protect decades’ worth of secrets belonging to militaries, banks, governments, and most individuals on Earth.

Strategic initiative to accelerate practical quantum computing through cross-platform execution to reach fault-tolerant performance

Advances in recent years suggest we are entering the Quantum Frontier Era. National security, science, economic competitiveness, and cybersecurity will all feel the impact.

Quantum computing firm QuEra says it plans to make a fault-tolerant quantum computer and offer it to users through the cloud in 2028, which will require a real leap in engineering

Cleveland Clinic researchers are unlocking quantum computing's full potential through the creation of a new computing paradigm inspired by the human brain. Fabio Cumbo, Ph.D., research associate in the lab of Daniel Blankenberg,

The orders, signed Monday by President Donald Trump, launch a “national effort” to create a quantum computer; and to move to cryptographic standards that can withstand quantum computers.

The quantum threat is accelerating significantly. It's time to have a fresh look at the current state of affairs and what we're doing about it.

Quantum computers are coming. Or, at least, that’s what current predictions say. These machines harness the power of quantum mechanics, the set of rules governing how physics operates at atomic and sub-atomic scales.
