President Trump signed two executive orders on Monday directing federal agencies to increase support for quantum computing research and related security measures. The first order calls for expanded investment in quantum hardware, software, and workforce training programs across government laboratories and academic institutions.
The second order requires agencies to develop standards that protect quantum systems from foreign interference and unauthorized access. Officials stated the directives build on existing federal research initiatives without specifying new budget amounts.
