The White House is mobilizing a sweeping, whole-of-government effort to accelerate the development of quantum technologies, according to a draft executive order obtained by Nextgov/FCW.
Fantastic breakdown of the executive order. The QCSAD facility concept is particularly smart since it sidesteps the "who owns quantum hardware" bottleneck that's slowed down alot of academic research. I've seen labs wait 18+ months just for cloud queue access. Building govt-run infrastructure specifically for scientific discovery could genuinley accelerate materials science and drug discovery timelines by years.
I hope so! We need to see more leadership from the government to secure against rival countries who would happily use any quantum advantage, well, to their advantage and could wreak havoc on your financial or communication systems.
