So we have this not just one monolithic supply chain, but just a bunch of different supply chains that are kind of intertwined in various ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blakestad made his remarks a little more than a month after President Donald Trump signed <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/trump-executive-order-post-quantum-encryption-deadline\/\">two executive orders on quantum computing<\/a>. He referenced proposed ways to address the supply chain challenge in one of the orders.<\/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>\u201cThe other major issue or challenge that we face right now is that we\u2019re on the cusp of quantum exploding from a commercialization perspective, but we\u2019re not quite there yet,\u201d he said. \u201cSo there\u2019s not the funding, the revenue coming from large-scale quantum companies at this point to really make the supply chain as robust as you would want. So thinking about it from the government perspective, it\u2019s just [that] there are too many places that I would want to bolster and not enough funding to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blakestad touted steps to help that along such as the government buying widgets from a company that makes them to certain specifications, or prize challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The quantum supply chain isn\u2019t just diffuse in the United States, an International Institute for Strategic Studies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iiss.org\/online-analysis\/online-analysis\/2026\/07\/securing-the-quantum-stack-export-controls-choke-points-and-strategic-competition\/\">policy paper<\/a> noted Wednesday. It\u2019s \u201cinherently international: no single country dominates the supply chain, whether specialised materials, cryogenic equipment, hardware, software, fabrication or algorithms,\u201d the authors, Dongyoun Cho and Maria Shagina, wrote.<\/p>\n<p>And a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnas.org\/publications\/reports\/quantums-industrial-moment\">March report<\/a> from the Center for a New American Security identified strengthening the quantum supply chain as pivotal to the United States seizing the benefits of the technology, citing gaps in the U.S. supply chain and reliance on foreign suppliers such as China and Russia. <\/p>\n<p>Supply chain wasn\u2019t the only obstacle Blakestad mentioned as looming large.<\/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>\u201cThe encryption challenge is a real challenge, and we want to make sure that we are aware of when quantum computers will ultimately get to a scale that they start having these sorts of implications and move as quickly as we can,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, just by owning the technologies, by owning the workforce, by making the United States the place that people want to come to be on the cutting edge of this technology, I think that kind of addresses both of those issues, and that\u2019s what makes it so critical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another difficulty is measuring progress, Blakestad said: \u201cIt\u2019s also very, very hard to benchmark, and to know that you\u2019re actually doing what you\u2019re supposed to, what you are intending to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"7.7216117216117\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/supply-chain-challenges-loom-large-in-quantum-race-white-house-official-says-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Tim Starks\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-card__details\" readability=\"10.901098901099\">\n<h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Tim Starks<\/h4>\n<p> Tim Starks is senior reporter at CyberScoop.
