They are part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to put its stamp on the development of another key emerging technology. <\/p>\n<p>In May, the Department of Commerce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nist.gov\/news-events\/news\/2026\/05\/department-commerce-announces-letters-intent-9-companies-2-billion\">announced<\/a> letters of intent for more than $2 billion in federal financing incentives for nine quantum companies under the CHIPS and Science Act. Last year, the administration did something similar with its <a href=\"https:\/\/fedscoop.com\/trump-signs-executive-order-curbing-state-regulation-of-ai\/\">AI-focused<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/donald-trump-white-house-ai-executive-order-scaled-back\/\">executive orders<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fedscoop.com\/trump-ai-action-plan-details-race-with-china\/\">action plan<\/a> that created special federal export programs for AI technology and equipment, directed federal agencies to mobilize federal financing tools to support the industry, and cut or curtail regulations that the administration said may impede domestic growth. <\/p>\n<p>In the order, a \u201cwhole of government approach is used to empower research and development into quantum computing, as well as quantum sensing [and other resources],\u201d said one source, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss pending administration actions. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>They described the Trump administration\u2019s attitude for propping up industry as \u201cdon\u2019t let us miss out on prioritizing the feeders for the research or the development of quantum.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>A second source with knowledge of the administration\u2019s plans confirmed the content of the executive actions.<\/p>\n<p>The second order will require federal civilian networks to adopt quantum-resistant encryption faster than the current 2035 deadline. The new encryption algorithms, vetted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, will protect against future quantum computer attacks. <\/p>\n<p>Agencies that miss the new deadline must report to the Office of Management and Budget explaining why. <\/p>\n<p>A source said that in draft versions they had seen, the administration was targeting 2029 or 2030 for the new deadline, and the order will exclude military and non-civilian networks from the mandates, which are governed by a separate encryption migration project led by the National Security Agency.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>On hand for the signing were Department of Energy Undersecretary for Science Dar\u00edo Gil, Department of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Federal Chief Information Officer Greg Barbaccia, and Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratisos.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple executives from technology companies were also on hand for the order\u2019s signing, complimentary of the government\u2019s efforts in boosting the industry. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIBM applauds the Administration for taking this important, timely step forward,\u201d said IBM CEO Arvind Krishna in a statement. \u201cSound policy, sustained investment and public-private partnership are vital to sustaining U.S. quantum leadership and technological resilience. We\u2019re proud to keep building on this foundation \u2014 strengthening U.S. competitiveness and bolstering national security as we shape the quantum future together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a developing story and will be updated as information becomes available.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"0.42384105960265\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"7\">\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Derek B.
