The Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation: Key Takeaways from President Trump’s Quantum and Post Quantum Cryptography Executive Orders On June 22, 2026, President Trump issued two Executive Orders (EOs) related to federal post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum technology efforts. - The first EO, Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks (PQC EO), accelerates the transition to the National Institute of Standards (NIST)-approved Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) incorporating PQC compliant algorithms for federal information systems and federal information. Specifically, it establishes new deadlines for agencies and “covered contractors” to migrate to PQC. Additionally, the PQC EO provides mechanisms to assist critical infrastructure owners and operators in the transition - The second EO, Ushering in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation (Quantum EO), establishes a “whole-of-government” strategy to accelerate U.S. leadership in quantum information science and technology (QIST). It directs a broad range of federal agencies to take specific, near, and long-term actions to strengthen the domestic QIST ecosystem, support the quantum-enabled technology ecosystem, and encourage partnerships with U.S. industry. Below we highlight the key takeaways and summarize the core provisions of the PQC and Quantum EOs, including new deadlines and directives for relevant government agencies and new resources for organizations to leverage as they migrate to PQC. PQC Executive Order Key Takeaways - The PQC EO accelerates timelines for the transition to PQC for certain federal agency assets and systems and covered contractors. Because the EO does not define covered contractors, the extent of the EO’s impact on contractors and subcontractors is unclear. - Given the PQC EO’s short timelines—with directives for actions to be taken this summer and fall—contractors should monitor the various workstreams that will result in deliverables, including the FAR rule on Vulnerability Disclosure Programs for covered contractors. - The EO does not establish deadlines or requirements

One of the simplest robots to make is a bristlebot — a motor with an offset weight is attached to the head of a toothbrush, and the resulting vibrations will move the contraption across a flat surface. [Very Lazy Pixels] recently took this idea a bit further by turning the Steam Controller into a steerable, bristlebot-like robot. To drive one’s Steam Controller across a desk, all that is needed is for a computer with a paired controller and a Chromium-based browser. From there, using the WASD buttons, the web interface converts traditional video game inputs into controller motion by spinning the controller’s rumble motors at a specific frequency. With precise control of these motors, the controller can move forwards and backwards and even turn, which is a great deal more advanced than the traditional bristlebots generally manage. Part of what makes this possible is Valve’s willingness to release information about many of their products to the general public, enabling anyone to modify or upgrade those products to their liking. While not completely open source, it’s a step in the right direction and enables fun projects like these. We’ve seen other Valve products turned into surprisingly barebones single-board computers as well as custom portable workstations thanks to this philosophy. This is soo cool! Thanks <3 Ray Foss made a tool to get the Steam Controller to use the same trick, but to walk towards the charging pad and charge itself. This is the future I was hoping for. https://x.com/Dexerto/status/2070589781285711889 Now I just need one of those robots they talk about that can do the laundry, paint the house, mop the floor, clean the litterboxes, remove weeds from the yard, cook dinner, etc. Then we really are in the future.

The quantum-safe timeline has changed For years, planning for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) was framed as a future problem: important, inevitable, but distant. That perspective is evolving as technology advances and organizations prepare for the scale and complexity of the transition ahead. At Microsoft, we are acting on this shift by bringing our quantum-safe timeline forward so organizations can begin the transition earlier and with greater confidence. Advances in quantum research and development have shifted the risk horizon. We believe cryptographically relevant quantum computers could arrive sooner than previously expected—and the work required to prepare is significant so organizations need to start now. Recent government actions, including United States1 and French2 guidance to adopt quantum-safe cryptography as early as 2030 in certain high-risk systems, reflect the same conclusion: preparing for this transition is already underway. This is a recognition that the transition to quantum-safe cryptography is a multi-year engineering effort that benefits from early planning and action, and delaying that work increases both cost and risk. This reinforces our decision to bring the work forward. The quantum capabilities are accelerating. The time to respond is now. Accelerating our timeline In response to these shifts, we are accelerating the Microsoft Quantum Safe Program (QSP) timeline with the goal of transitioning critical products and services to PQC by 2029. We are also incorporating PQC requirements into our Secure Future Initiative (SFI). This brings quantum-safe readiness into the same disciplined engineering framework we use for other critical security outcomes: clear ownership, measurable milestones, and transparent progress. Embedding these capabilities into our platforms empowers customers to move sooner and more confidently. What “accelerating” means in practice Accelerating our timeline means pulling forward key engineering work so new standards can be adopted earlier and modernization can begin well ahead of broad quantum impact. Our priorities fall

Why quantum computing may be the White House's new AI It's been a week since President Trump signed an executive order directing a whole-of-government push on quantum computing — funding it, securing its supply chains, building its workforce, and making sure adversaries like China don't get there first. This marks a significant federal commitment to a technology that is either the next great computing revolution, or the most expensive science experiment in history, depending on the expert opinion. But one thing it can do: replace AI as the carrier of long-term hopes for the tech industry. This would be the right moment for a switch, as the vibe shifts on AI itself: models are more expensive to train, returns are harder to demonstrate. Investors who have sent AI stock soaring may soon be looking for the next big thing to believe in. You May Also Like Quantum computing — with its theoretical promise of solving problems that would take classical computers millennia — is a real and genuinely fascinating technology. It's just a lot more complicated, and further away, than the White House-led hype suggests. What is quantum computing? Your laptop processes information in bits. Tiny switches in a computer see data in binary code: either as a 0 or a 1. Quantum computers swap those out for qubits, which can exist as 0, 1, or a combination of both at the same time — a property called superposition. Which, if we can harness it, would fundamentally supercharge everything a computer can do. As IBM describes it, think of solving a maze. A classical computer tries every path until it finds the exit. A quantum computer, by using the interference patterns of qubits — the way their probability waves cancel out wrong answers and amplify right ones — can zero

Don't be a raccoon investor. Raccoons can't resist anything that sparkles. They spot a glint in the mud and shuffle toward it as if they've stumbled on buried treasure. These days, the glittering thing pulling raccoon investors in is quantum computing. Quantum grabbed attention this week after President Trump put his name to two fresh executive orders. The first tells federal agencies to help bring a genuinely useful quantum computer to life by 2028. The second urges the government to shield its systems against the quantum-powered attacks that may come. That follows the $2 billion in funding grants the White House handed to nine American quantum computing firms back in May. All of this is perfectly good news and will move the science along. But it isn't a green light to start buying quantum computing shares. Quantum, at this stage, is overhyped. The first truly great quantum computing company likely doesn't even exist yet. The reason I'm raising this today is that I keep seeing investors pulled away from the real prize. During ordinary stretches, that kind of drift might set them back a few thousand dollars. But this is no time to let artificial intelligence (AI) slip out of focus. Depending on how big your portfolio is, the stakes run into the millions. The right small AI names are printing cash. Windows like this are rare. Make no mistake. I'm a believer in quantum computing. It's genuine science. Down the road, it could help us engineer better medicines… uncover new materials… fine-tune tangled systems… and crack problems that stump even the mightiest supercomputers we have today. But "one day" is the key phrase. A genuinely useful quantum computer remains years out. A decade or more, in all likelihood. Where your laptop reasons in bits, quantum machines work in qubits.

- United States - / - Software - / - NYSE:ORCL We Think That There Are Issues Underlying Oracle's (NYSE:ORCL) Earnings Investors were disappointed with Oracle Corporation's (NYSE:ORCL) earnings, despite the strong profit numbers. We think that the market might be paying attention to some underlying factors that they find to be concerning. A Closer Look At Oracle's Earnings One key financial ratio used to measure how well a company converts its profit to free cash flow (FCF) is the accrual ratio. In plain english, this ratio subtracts FCF from net profit, and divides that number by the company's average operating assets over that period. This ratio tells us how much of a company's profit is not backed by free cashflow. That means a negative accrual ratio is a good thing, because it shows that the company is bringing in more free cash flow than its profit would suggest. While it's not a problem to have a positive accrual ratio, indicating a certain level of non-cash profits, a high accrual ratio is arguably a bad thing, because it indicates paper profits are not matched by cash flow. Notably, there is some academic evidence that suggests that a high accrual ratio is a bad sign for near-term profits, generally speaking. Oracle has an accrual ratio of 0.33 for the year to May 2026. Therefore, we know that it's free cashflow was significantly lower than its statutory profit, raising questions about how useful that profit figure really is. Even though it reported a profit of US$17.0b, a look at free cash flow indicates it actually burnt through US$24b in the last year. We also note that Oracle's free cash flow was actually negative last year as well, so we could understand if shareholders were bothered by its outflow of US$24b. That might

Most of the internet remains unprepared for quantum threats, according to Forescout Research. Within enterprises, readiness is even more uneven, particularly across cyber-physical systems, according to the researchers. Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness depends on upgrading the underlying protocols that secure how systems communicate, including SSH (used for remote access to systems) and TLS (used to protect data in transit across applications and websites). Our research shows that while PQC adoption is increasing across both, progress toward quantum-safe security remains uneven, according to the firm. “Enterprise security teams are being asked to prove awareness, governance, and progress on post-quantum cryptography well before large-scale migration is feasible,” said Paul Kao, Chief Product Officer at Forescout. “Global guidance from governments and standards bodies consistently points to inventory and PQC exposure assessment as the first required steps.” Visit: https://www.forescout.com/solutions/post-quantum-cryptography-risk/. As for when quantum computing may come, some see the threat of quantum computing as far in the future, yet the technology has been advancing. Governments and the tech sector are concerned that a quantum computer could break traditional asymmetric encryption in the next few years. While post-quantum cryptography (PQC), which is designed to resist quantum attacks, already exists, IT users need to migrate their assets to this new tech. Presidential order The advent of large-scale quantum computers, particularly in the hands of adversaries, will pose a significant threat to widely used cryptographic security systems, according to an executive order by President Trump, on ‘securing the nation against advanced cryptographic attacks’. Ali King, VP of Government Affairs at Forescout commented that US acceleration will influence vendor PQC adoption and readiness, so in a global market and supply chain, the EU and UK will receive downstream benefits from that momentum regardless of any formal changes to their own timelines. “The UK is already well aligned with

Key Takeaways - Current Standards (ECDSA/RSA) rely on the mathematical difficulty of factoring large numbers or solving discrete logarithms—tasks a quantum computer can solve in minutes. - Quantum-Resistant Cryptography (PQC) uses "Lattice-based" or "Hash-based" mathematics that remain computationally "hard" even for the most advanced quantum processors. - The "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" threat makes the transition urgent in 2026, as malicious actors are already storing encrypted data to unlock once quantum hardware matures. - Crypto Agility is the defining market trend; projects that can swap algorithms without a hard fork (like Nervos) or built-in quantum layers (like QRL) are gaining institutional attention. Market Context: The Quantum Transition As tech leaders scale processors past the 1,000-qubit barrier and the NIST finalizes PQC standards like ML-KEM and ML-DSA, the digital asset industry is shifting toward proactive defense. While breaking 256-bit ECDSA still requires scaling to fault-tolerant logical qubits later this decade, forward-looking allocators are beginning to evaluate "cryptographic agility" as a necessary qualitative metric for long-term protocol survival. Ensuring that Layer 1 and custody frameworks have clear, soft-forkable roadmaps to migrate legacy public keys into post-quantum address spaces is becoming a baseline requirement for generational wealth security. Deep Dive: Quantum-Resistant Cryptography (PQC) Core Value Proposition Quantum-Resistant Cryptography (PQC) fundamentally upgrades the "locks" of digital assets. While current standards (ECDSA/RSA) rely on simple math doors that quantum computers can easily bypass, PQC uses multi-dimensional "lattices" or complex hash chains. Due to this geometric complexity, breaking PQC remains an exponential task even with quantum superposition, keeping wallets secure. Technical Edge & Blockchain Impact The technical edge lies in Lattice-Based Cryptography, such as the NIST-standardized ML-DSA (Dilithium). However, its implementation brings a critical infrastructure trade-off: - Signature Bloat: PQC signatures are 40x to 70x larger than legacy ones (e.g., ~3,300 bytes for ML-DSA vs. 64

Quantum Sundays |71⟩ Harvest Now, Decrypt Later: A Guide to Post-Quantum Cryptographic Migration
How Organizations Can Defend Against Quantum-Era “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” Attacks with Post-Quantum Cryptography, Hybrid TLS, and Crypto-Agile Migration
tl;dr — Harvest Now, Decrypt Later is the strategy of collecting encrypted data today and decrypting it years from now, once a cryptographically relevant quantum computer can break the public-key cryptography that protects nearly every secure connection. The risk does not start when that machine arrives. It starts the moment your ciphertext is captured, because any secret that must outlive your migration window is already exposed. Forward secrecy does not save you, larger keys do not save you, and the only real defense is moving key establishment to post-quantum or hybrid cryptography before the harvesting window closes. This piece covers the full picture: the mechanism, Mosca’s risk math, the attack taxonomy, working code, the documented collection infrastructure, the standards and deadlines now in force, and where your sector sits on the exposure curve.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) said on Sunday it is expanding cooperation with neutral-atom quantum computing company QuEra Computing and will provide the fault-tolerant quantum computer Libra through Amazon Braket as a cloud service by 2028. AWS launched Amazon Braket in 2020, a cloud service that provides access to a range of quantum computing hardware. The company said quantum computers have a fundamental limitation because qubits are prone to errors even from small changes in the external environment. Fault-tolerant quantum computing is based on error correction technology to overcome this limitation. It is seen as a key turning point that enables quantum computers to handle problems that existing computers cannot solve. The expanded cooperation centres on Libra, a Megaquop-scale quantum device. Libra can perform more than 1 million quantum operations based on hundreds of logical qubits. This is seen as a threshold level needed to enable scientifically practical applications. The company said that when Libra is provided via Amazon Braket as a cloud service in 2028, researchers and companies worldwide will be able to access fault-tolerant quantum computing without separate quantum hardware. In addition to the Rydberg-atom method, AWS is independently developing Ocelot, a superconducting cat-qubit-based chip, at the AWS Center for Quantum Computing. Mikhail Lukin (미하일 루킨), QuEra Computing's chief science officer, said, "This is a very special moment. For the first time, the dream of realizing a useful, fault-tolerant quantum computer is right in front of us." He said, "This system, designed to enable unprecedented-scale quantum computation, will realize truly differentiated applications, and I am proud that by greatly expanding our collaboration with AWS we will provide these unique capabilities to a broader scientific user community."
