Trump Administration Boosts U.S. Quantum Strategy for Cybersecurity and Innovation

The Trump administration is updating America's quantum computing strategy, aiming to bolster cybersecurity and stimulate innovation. This comes as the global quantum networking news market is projected to boom, reaching $42.11 billion by 2035.

Quantum networks promise unconditional data protection and advanced tools like quantum teleportation. However, running large quantum simulations can emit more CO2 equivalent emissions than training typical machine learning models.

The Department of Energy is set to implement the new quantum strategy. The plan may involve new executive orders and a national action plan, similar to the White House's July AI roadmap. The global news market is expected to grow at a 43.4% CAGR, from $1.15 billion in 2025 to $42.11 billion by 2035.

Rigetti Computing has secured a $5.8 million contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory to advance superconducting quantum networking. Meanwhile, Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) raised $500 million, boosting its cash position to about $850 million.

The White House is pushing federal agencies toward post-quantum cryptographic protections to prevent quantum computers from cracking today's encryption. The Trump administration's new quantum computing strategy could significantly enhance U.S. cybersecurity and send a strong message to investors and innovators about the importance of quantum technology.
