Trump administration to order agencies to speed up post-quantum migration, boost industry

The Trump administration plans to issue executive orders to accelerate the federal government's transition to post-quantum encryption and increase funding for the domestic quantum computing industry. The orders include a new deadline for adopting quantum-resistant encryption by 2029 or 2030 and exclude military networks. The administration also announced over $2 billion in incentives for nine quantum companies under the CHIPS and Science Act.
