PANews, June 23 – Citing a Wall Street Journal report via Jinshi, former President Trump signed two executive orders aimed at accelerating the development of advanced quantum computers and mitigating the security threats they pose. One executive order, signed on Monday, directs federal agencies including the Department of Energy to collaborate with the private sector and academia to deploy a quantum computer capable of scientific research by 2028. Such a goal is considered a key benchmark for demonstrating the technology's real-world application capabilities. Quantum computers can solve problems far faster than traditional supercomputers, making them an area of growing global importance. The second executive order signed by Trump requires government agencies and security experts to prepare for quantum systems—systems that may break standard encryption systems sooner than expected. The goal is to strengthen security systems across both government and the private sector to prevent advanced quantum hacking attacks from crippling critical infrastructure.
