The US is accelerating the quantum computing race.

On June 22, US President Donald Trump signed two strategic executive orders aimed at promoting the development of quantum computing technology and tightening cybersecurity. Observers believe this move is intended to maintain America's leading position against global competitors.

A statement from the White House said the first executive order directs federal agencies to collaborate with the private sector to successfully build a quantum computer for scientific research by 2028. This goal puts the US government in a "race against time" with IBM, Microsoft, and Google – tech giants aiming for large-scale commercialization of quantum devices by 2029.

Unlike traditional computers that operate using "bits" (which only take the states 0 or 1), quantum computers use "qubits" that can exist in both states simultaneously. This characteristic allows quantum computers to process enormous amounts of data at the same time, solving extremely complex problems in fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), biomedicine, and materials science at speeds far exceeding even the most powerful supercomputers currently available.

Nevertheless, a senior White House official acknowledged that the government- promoted quantum computing model, projected for 2028, will have more limited performance compared to privately-owned commercial systems, serving as a stepping stone to future generations of computers.

In addition to developing technology, the Trump administration also proactively addressed the downsides of the "quantum age," as these computers are warned to have the potential to break all current encryption systems. Therefore, Trump's second executive order focused on cybersecurity, requiring the acceleration of the transition of the entire national cryptography system to "post-quantum" encryption methods by 2031.

This move comes shortly after the US Commerce Department announced a $2 billion investment package in nine leading quantum computing companies, reaffirming Washington's determination to master the core technology of the future.
