"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.

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

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

Ahem. National effort required to kick-start the era of quantum-enabled scientific discovery and keep America ahead of the game

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 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.

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t. Credit: IBM Chemistry problems could be among the first ...

Researchers at FIU’s College of Engineering and Computing have developed an encryption algorithm to defend videos from attackers with access to the world's most powerful computers. The encryption method protects sensitive videos from quantum computers ...

The city is betting on a promising—but commercially unproven—technology.
