The Energy Department is seeking commercial teams to deliver scientifically relevant, fault-tolerant quantum computers by 2028. It’s also funding a national laboratory testbed to validate performance. […]

Treasury is bringing government and industry together to tackle vendor readiness, migration planning, and emerging risks ahead of looming quantum-security deadlines. […]

The agency is updating federal identity architecture and physical access testing as the government accelerates its transition to quantum-resistant cryptography. […]

Atom Computing’s Kristen Pudenz says recent advances in scaling and error correction are bringing fault-tolerant quantum computing closer to reality, and agencies should begin preparing now. […]

The legislation seeks to expand Export-Import Bank financing beyond quantum computing to include quantum sensing, communications, and other emerging technologies. […]

NSF says the effort will help transition quantum technologies from laboratory research to operational capabilities across government and industry. […]

NIST plans an initial $20 million investment in the new center, which will work with industry to address manufacturing challenges that could slow commercialization of quantum technologies. […]

The $20 million NSF investment expands the National Quantum Virtual Laboratory effort to nine design-stage projects focused on quantum computing, networking, and sensing. […]

DIU seeks mature commercial quantum sensing and timing technologies that could support ISR missions in contested environments within two to three years. […]

New OMB guidance requires agencies to prioritize high-risk systems for PQC migration, submit implementation plans within 120 days, and complete key phases of the transition through 2035. […]

DOE’s new Quantum Genesis initiative aims to deliver a fault-tolerant quantum computing capability for scientific research by 2028. It answers a requirement laid out in a June 22 executive order. […]

The strategy calls for deploying quantum-resistant cryptography on high-impact systems by 2030 and across the force by 2031. […]

The orders set deadlines for transitioning to post-quantum cryptography and an update to the National Quantum Strategy. They require changes to the Federal Acquisition Regulation as well. […]

The orders launch a federal push to develop a scientifically relevant quantum computer and direct agencies to complete migration to post-quantum cryptography by 2031. […]

Commerce officials say the nine funding agreements aim to expand domestic quantum computing development and manufacturing as the United States seeks to strengthen its leadership in next-generation technologies. […]

The proposed federal investment would support efforts to expand U.S.-based quantum computing development and manufacturing as Washington pushes to strengthen domestic leadership in emerging technologies. […]

NIST’s latest PQC review round narrows the field of digital signature algorithms that could help agencies protect sensitive data before quantum computers can break today’s encryption. […]

SAS quantum architect Bill Wisotsky says agencies that start with clear mission problems – not vendor hype – will be better positioned as quantum hardware matures. […]

D-Wave executives are pushing back on the notion that quantum computing is still years away. They say the technology is already solving real-world public sector and commercial problems, and that agencies can start using it today. […]

The House introduced its version of the National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act (NQIA) on Thursday, taking a less-expansive approach to reauthorization than the Senate version introduced earlier this year.   […]

Quantum technologies are transitioning from research to early commercialization, the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) announced Wednesday in its latest annual report. […]

For federal technology leaders trying to decide when quantum computing moves from a long-range research issue to an operational priority, Yuval Boger says the answer is sooner than many agencies think. In a recent interview with MeriTalk, the QuEra executive said the U.S. government is increasingly treating quantum computing as both a national security concern and an economic competitiveness issue. […]

The Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee voted unanimously on Tuesday to approve the National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act. […]

Quantum computing’s promise may still sound futuristic in many corners of government, but for Eddy Zervigon, the more urgent reality is what it means for the cryptography that underpins government and enterprise networks. […]
