"Detailed in a draft document obtained by Nextgov/FCW titled "Ushering In The Next Frontier Of Quantum Innovation," the pending order tasks the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy with setting a vision to keep the U.S. at the forefront of innovation in quantum technologies. This includes policy actions like lowering commercial barriers, improving access to foreign markets, partnering with ally nations, scaling a quantum-ready infrastructure, strengthening supply chains and continuing fundamental scientific research."
"Within 180 days of the signing of the executive order, the director of OSTP and the secretaries from Commerce, Energy, and Defense will start work with the directors of national intelligence and the National Science Foundation - along with feedback from the National Science and Technology Council Subcommittees on Quantum Information Science and the Economic and Security Implications of Quantum Science - to update the National Quantum Strategy."
The White House is developing an executive order on quantum information sciences and technology to create a whole-of-government approach to strengthen the U.S. quantum ecosystem. The order directs the OSTP director to set a vision to maintain U.S. leadership and prescribes policy actions: lowering commercial barriers, improving foreign market access, partnering with allies, scaling quantum-ready infrastructure, strengthening supply chains, and continuing fundamental research. Secretaries of Energy, Defense, and Commerce will play major implementation roles. Within 180 days OSTP and those secretaries, plus DNI and NSF, must update the National Quantum Strategy; agencies must report implementation plans 30 days after.
