Trump signs quantum computing executive orders, urges deployment by 2028

U.S. President Donald Trump signed 2 executive orders to accelerate quantum computing development and speed the federal shift to post-quantum cryptography, reviving attention to potential risks for Bitcoin security. The post-quantum transition target was moved up to December 2031 from 2035. NIST must complete pilot conversions for federal systems by end-2027, while CISA will support critical infrastructure operators. The White House set a goal of deploying “scientifically useful” quantum computers by 2028.
