U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on June 22 that launches a plan to help develop a quantum computer at the scale needed to perform scientific discovery, deliver one such quantum computer to the Department of Energy, field three Department of Defense-approved quantum sensing projects by the end of September 2028 and develop a plan to support the domestic supply chain for quantum-enabling component technologies. The same day, Trump signed a second executive order that accelerates the timeframe for certain key government contractors and service providers to migrate to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) schemes, setting a Dec. 31, 2030, deadline for key establishment and Dec. 31, 2031, deadline for digital signatures.
