Mars Finance News, June 23 — According to The Wall Street Journal, U.S. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Monday aimed at accelerating the development of advanced quantum computers and mitigating the security threats they pose. One executive order requires federal agencies, including the Department of Energy, to collaborate with the private sector and academia to deploy a powerful quantum computer capable of conducting scientific research by 2028. Such a goal is seen as a key milestone demonstrating the practical application potential of quantum computing. At the signing ceremony, Trump stated that the U.S. will invest in quantum leadership with unprecedented effort, and said that the relevant executive order should expand America's leading edge in this field.
Another executive order requires federal agencies and government security experts to prepare for quantum systems potentially surpassing standard encryption earlier than previously expected, with the goal of strengthening government and private sector security systems to prevent advanced quantum hackers from attacking critical infrastructure. This security-related executive order mandates that agencies develop systems resistant to quantum attacks by 2031, ahead of the Biden administration's previous target of 2035, and prioritize reinforcement plans for critical infrastructure such as utilities and water plants.
Trump also called for the U.S. Department of Commerce and Department of Defense to deploy quantum sensors within the next five years. This technology, based on quantum mechanics, could provide an alternative to traditional GPS and may be used in space exploration as well as in warfare scenarios where GPS jamming is common.
