Executive Order 14411 By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose. America stands at the cusp of a quantum revolution. Quantum information science and technology (QIST) will provide transformational capabilities that will drive American innovation, power economic growth, generate high-paying jobs, and bolster national security. In 2018, I laid the foundation for United States leadership in QIST by signing into law the National Quantum Initiative Act and doubling Federal investment in QIST research and development. Today, as other nations move quickly to challenge American leadership, the United States must take a cohesive, whole-of-government approach to accelerate deployment and commercialization of quantum computing, sensing, and networking. In addition to continuing trailblazing quantum research, we must act to solidify the Nation’s position as the world’s QIST superpower and deliver the commercial and research benefits of quantum innovation to the American people. Equally important, we must protect sensitive technologies and work with allies to ensure adversaries cannot use QIST to undermine national security. Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of my Administration to ensure that the United States maintains a strategic technical advantage in QIST and leads the development of a robust and trusted quantum ecosystem across QIST research, manufacturing, commercialization, and application. Sec. 3. Updating the National Quantum Strategy. (a) Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST), in coordination with the Secretary of War, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Energy, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and the Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF), and in consultation with the Co-Chairs of the National Science and Technology Council Subcommittees on Quantum Information Science (SCQIS) and Economic and Security

President Donald Trump signed executive orders on Monday (June 22) at the White House, aiming to give the United States an edge in quantum computing. The orders are designed to fast-track the development of a scientifically relevant quantum computer by 2028. Quantum computing has emerged as a national security issue due to concerns that these super-computers could eventually crack current encryption methods used by the federal government and the U.S. military. Speaking at the White House, President Trump emphasized the importance of staying ahead in the quantum computing race. A White House official stated that the administration's goal is to build a quantum computer that can perform complex calculations far beyond the capabilities of today's computers. The executive orders are part of a broader strategy to enhance the nation's technological capabilities. The orders also address cybersecurity concerns, with a focus on post-quantum cryptography. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is directed to maintain a list of product categories that support post-quantum cryptography by December 1, 2025. Additionally, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) are tasked with ensuring agencies support the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol version 1.3 by January 2, 2030. These measures are part of the administration's effort to secure the nation's digital infrastructure against potential threats posed by quantum computing. The orders reflect a shift towards empowering individual departments and agencies to implement solutions that align with their operational needs and budgetary constraints. According to A&O Shearman, the orders aim to move away from a compliance checklist approach and focus on genuine security investments. The executive orders are expected to face scrutiny and potential legal challenges, as they represent significant changes to existing cybersecurity policies. However, the administration remains committed to advancing quantum computing technology and ensuring the United States

ETFs Get Tropical With New Fund Filings Targeting MANGOS No, not the fruit. The acronym stands for Meta, Anthropic, Nvidia, Google (Alphabet), OpenAI and SpaceX. Sign up for exclusive news and analysis of the rapidly evolving ETF landscape. Who doesn’t love a mango? They’re sweet, tangy and now chock full of artificial intelligence goodness. Asset managers Yorkville America and Corgi Securities both filed for ETFs last week targeting MANGOS. Not the juicy fruit native to northern India, but rather the acronym representing the big tech and AI space, standing for Meta, Anthropic, Nvidia, Google (Alphabet), OpenAI and SpaceX. It’s not only the latest of Wall Street’s alphabet-soup colloquialisms, but it could also be the next big investing strategy, with Yorkville and Corgi aiming to be pioneers. It’s just like the doctor says: a MANGO fund a day keeps the FOMO away. Nature’s Candy Corgi has quickly made a name for itself this summer, bursting on to the scene with roughly 70 funds, mostly thematic and leveraged plays, in a matter of just two months. Meanwhile, Yorkville is the manager behind the Trump family’s suite of Truth Social ETFs and its “America First” investing philosophies. Now, both are looking to package the AI ecosystem into a single tradeable basket: - The Corgi product will allocate 80% of its assets toward the six MANGOS companies, according to a filing. - The Yorkville ETF may provide exposure to seven other companies in the AI space, including, SanDisk, Micron, Dell and others, per its filing. The firm also filed for another version of the fund that seeks to generate income through an actively managed option-writing strategy. MANGOS Mania: Though Anthropic and OpenAI are private (for now), the funds may invest in them directly as an ETF can hold up to 15% of its portfolio

Arkeon Technologies, a Gothenburg-based quantum computing startup, raised €594.2k in seed funding to advance a technology that improves the performance and yield of superconducting quantum chips after fabrication. Founded in 2025, the company has developed a method that adjusts qubit frequencies post-production, helping compensate for manufacturing variations that can affect chip accuracy and stability. The approach works by applying controlled current pulse trains to modify junction resistance, enabling more precise frequency placement without requiring manufacturers to redesign existing fabrication processes. By allowing each chip to be individually optimized after production, the technology aims to improve reproducibility, increase wafer-level yields and reduce manufacturing costs as quantum processors become more complex. The funding round, backed by Chalmers Ventures, Navigare Ventures and Almi Invest, will support technology development, customer validation and international expansion. For quantum hardware developers, the solution addresses a key manufacturing bottleneck as the industry works toward larger-scale commercial quantum systems. Image Credit: Arkeon Technologies What's Driving This Trend - Post-fabrication Quantum Tuning - Adjustable qubit frequencies after chip production create new pathways for higher-yield quantum processors without costly fabrication redesigns. - Wafer-level Yield Optimization - Manufacturing variability in quantum chips is becoming a software-adjacent hardware opportunity as precision alignment improves reproducibility across wafers. - Scalable Superconducting Systems - Commercial quantum expansion depends on chip-level correction methods that support larger processor architectures with improved stability and lower production costs. Who This Affects Most - Quantum Computing - Hardware developers gain a route to more reliable superconducting processors as post-production calibration reduces barriers to scalable commercial systems. - Semiconductor Manufacturing - Advanced fabrication ecosystems can benefit from alignment technologies that preserve existing processes while improving output quality for emerging quantum components. - Deep Tech Investment - Early-stage capital is increasingly focused on specialized quantum infrastructure that addresses manufacturability, validation and global commercialization

Michael Saylor, chairman of Strategy, urged the Bitcoin community to prioritise unity over internal disputes. On June 21 local time, blockchain outlet U.Today reported Saylor as saying the community should focus on opportunity rather than criticism that divides it, as Bitcoin enters the next stage of global adoption. Saylor said Bitcoin holders are effectively aligned on most important issues, from core values and philosophy to its origins. He said, "Bitcoiners agree on the 99 percent that matters" and "we shouldn’t let the 1 percent divide us." He added, "Nearly all global capital has yet to enter Bitcoin’s monetary network," stressing that the value of the opportunity is greater than the argument. The remarks come as debate continues across the Bitcoin ecosystem over how to respond to the threat posed by quantum computers. Saylor said such discussions may be necessary but should not obscure Bitcoin’s bigger goals. Within the community, views differ over the potential impact of quantum computers on Bitcoin security and the implementation plan to address it. At the centre of the debate is Bitcoin’s so-called quantum problem. Views differ even among top cryptographers, and Google Quantum AI research that shook the Bitcoin community in March suggested that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could derive a private key from a public key in about 9 minutes. Discussion has since focused on about 6.9 million BTC held in addresses with exposed public keys and the lack of a post-quantum transition plan for Bitcoin. Market attention has moved beyond technical concern to how existing holders’ assets could be transferred safely in practice. One option being cited is BIP-361, proposed by developer Jameson Lopp and others. The proposal would allow holders, even after a set transfer deadline, to prove ownership through a quantum-resistant proof method without exposing their keys. PACT, proposed by

Why Singapore SMEs cannot wait for quantum cyber risk to arrive before securing data By Tony OngSMEs need to treat migration as a staged process rather than a one-time upgrade. If you’re a business operating with any form of sensitive data in Singapore, chances are you’ve already been breached – with or without your knowledge. Cybersecurity is already difficult enough for SMEs in Singapore. Businesses are managing a variety of software, juggling between cloud tools, vendor and payroll systems, customer databases, and the like, often with lean IT teams and limited budgets. But now that quantum computing is a reality staring us in the face, imagine the exponential damage bad actors with malicious intent can do with these “supercomputers.” Quantum is not just a distant concern reserved for governments, banks, and global tech giants anymore. Whilst quantum computers are not breaking business systems today, most if not all current encryption methods may become vulnerable once the technology matures. This creates a problem that businesses cannot simply postpone, because sensitive data can be stolen now and decrypted later. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has warned that organisations should start planning for post-quantum cryptography now, especially for high-value, long-lived sensitive data, because cryptographic transitions will take time. This matters for SMEs more than many realise, as current encryption standards are to be deprecated by 2030 and phased out by 2035. Not all valuable data loses relevance after a few months. Supplier pricing, customer records, contracts, HR information, technical drawings, product specifications, financing documents, and operational data can remain sensitive for years. A breach today puts these at risk for years to come. This is why quantum security should be treated as a business resilience issue, not just an IT issue. And the global cyber environment is also adding to

Guest post by Zeynep Koruturk, Dr. Kris Naudts, & Donald Harmitt of Firgun Ventures and Professor Bob Coecke of Relational Intelligence Limited Few questions in the quantum sector are asked more often, or answered more loosely, than how many qubits a useful quantum computer will require. Press releases announce systems with hundreds of qubits, then thousands, and the implicit suggestion is that the field is approaching a finish line. The reality is more nuanced, and arguably more interesting. It is not as black and white as saying there is a single number of qubits that makes a quantum computer “useful”. The right number depends entirely on what you want the machine to do, on which type of machine you are using, and on how cleverly the underlying problem has been formulated. Not all quantum bits (or qubits) are created equal. A qubit is the basic building block of a quantum computer, the equivalent of a bit in a classical machine, but qubits are fragile and error prone. To do any serious computation, many physical qubits must be bundled together to create one reliable “logical qubit” through a process called quantum error correction. The ratio between the two, depending on the technology and the target error rate, can range from roughly 2 to 1 at the optimistic end to over 2,000 to 1 at the demanding end. Rather than asking how many qubits quantum computing needs in the abstract, we instead reframe the question to how many qubits each specific application needs on each specific type of machine and then organise the answers into three broad bands of ambition and difficulty. Why Qubit Numbers Sometimes Mislead A small chemistry calculation might need only a few dozen highly reliable qubits. Breaking modern encryption or proving advantage on hard optimisation problems (finding the

The British company selling quantum-safe encryption as software rather than building quantum computers. This is its commercial history, from a 2017 startup through a turbulent public debut. Arqit Quantum (Nasdaq: ARQQ) is the cybersecurity outlier of the public quantum sector, a British company that sells quantum-safe encryption as software rather than building quantum computers at all. Founded in London in 2017, it went public early in the quantum SPAC wave and then weathered a hard reset of its ambitions. This is the commercial history of Arqit, from a satellite-backed encryption dream to a focused software business. What the company does Arqit sells software that creates quantum-safe encryption keys, meaning keys designed to resist attack even by a future quantum computer. Its platform lets devices generate shared symmetric keys on demand, which the company positions as a simpler alternative to managing complex public-key infrastructure. Customers are telecommunications firms, governments and enterprises worried about long-term data security. The threat Arqit addresses is real and widely accepted, often summarised as harvest now, decrypt later, where adversaries store encrypted data today to break once quantum computers mature. Arqit’s answer is symmetric key agreement delivered as a service. That focus on cryptography, not hardware, sets it apart from every other company in this set. Because it sells software rather than machines, Arqit’s business looks more like a conventional cybersecurity vendor than a quantum hardware maker. Its costs are lower, its product can be deployed over existing networks, and its addressable market is every organisation that needs to protect data for the long term. The trade-off is that it competes in a crowded security market where buyers have many quantum-safe options to choose from. Because it sells software rather than machines, Arqit’s business looks more like a conventional cybersecurity vendor than a quantum-hardware maker. Its costs

Ethereum Researchers Propose Quantum-Resistant Key Registry to Secure Network Share: BitcoinWorld Ethereum Researchers Propose Quantum-Resistant Key Registry to Secure Network Ethereum researchers, including prominent contributors Thomas Coratger and Justin Drake, have proposed a new design for a key registry that could serve as the first concrete step toward making the Ethereum network resistant to attacks from quantum computers. The proposal, reported by The Defiant, addresses a growing concern in the blockchain industry: the eventual ability of quantum computers to break the cryptographic keys that currently secure billions of dollars in digital assets. Why Quantum Resistance Matters for Ethereum Quantum computers, once sufficiently advanced, could theoretically break the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and BLS (Boneh-Lynn-Shacham) signature schemes that underpin Ethereum’s security. This would allow an attacker to derive private keys from public ones, potentially stealing funds or disrupting validator operations. While large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers are likely years away, the Ethereum research community has begun proactive planning to ensure the network can transition smoothly before such a threat materializes. The Proposed Solution: A Post-Quantum Key Registry The research team’s proposal introduces a ‘PQ key registry’ (post-quantum key registry) that would allow validators to register new, quantum-resistant public keys while continuing to use their existing BLS-based keys for current operations. This dual-key approach is conceptually similar to issuing a more secure form of identification that is held in reserve until it is needed. The registry would be a smart contract on Ethereum that stores these new keys, ensuring transparency and decentralization. Two-Phase Transition Plan The transition is designed to occur in two distinct phases. In the first phase, validators voluntarily register their quantum-resistant keys. This phase imposes no immediate change to network operations. The second phase would be triggered once a supermajority of validators have registered their new keys. At

Two independent research teams published peer-reviewed papers this week confirming that IBM's Nighthawk quantum processor can handle real problem classes at the frontier of two unrelated fields: simulating the strong nuclear force that binds quarks inside protons, and optimizing the detection of network traffic attacks. The results, coordinated through the RPI–IBM Future of Computing Research Collaboration and announced June 20 by the Quantum Computing Report, were obtained without direct engineering involvement from IBM — making them the strongest independent signal yet that Nighthawk can support meaningful quantum workloads as the company's end-of-2026 quantum advantage deadline approaches. What makes the QCD result particularly significant is not that Nighthawk was faster than a classical computer — it was not tested on that basis — but that it successfully represented and measured a class of problem that classical hardware cannot accurately encode at all in full generality. Quantum chromodynamics calculations at low energies involve quark confinement, a regime where classical approximation methods break down entirely. A quantum processor that produces physically correct results in this domain, even in a controlled two-dimensional model, has entered territory classical hardware never fully occupies. Mapping the Strong Force to a Quantum Chip The particle physics study, a collaboration among Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Stony Brook University, the University of Washington, and Brookhaven National Laboratory, targeted a solvable two-dimensional version of quantum chromodynamics — the branch of physics that describes how quarks are bound together by gluons into protons, neutrons, and other hadrons. In the large-N limit of two-dimensional QCD, baryons emerge as topological solitons — stable, localized disturbances in a mesonic field — rather than as composite quark assemblies. The research team exploited this structure to reformulate the nucleon-antinucleon interaction as an XXZ spin-chain model, a class of problem that Nighthawk's architecture can natively represent qubit-for-qubit using Jordan-Wigner

It looks like an old PC, but this bleeding-edge 'server' may well save us from hackers causing chaos in a post-quantum computing world — 4.1Gb/s 'rackable' quantum random number generator brings entropy to the data center Q-Dice generates randomness that hackers cannot predict or reverse - Fraunhofer introduces quantum random generator targeting future cryptographic security challenges - Q-Dice uses vacuum fluctuations instead of software algorithms for randomness - New system delivers over 4 Gbit/s quantum-generated random number output As concerns grow about the security implications of future quantum computers, researchers continue searching for stronger sources of cryptographic protection. One critical requirement involves generating truly unpredictable random numbers that can withstand increasingly sophisticated attacks against modern digital systems. Fraunhofer IPMS has now introduced a new quantum random number generator designed specifically for security-sensitive environments and high-throughput infrastructure deployments. Quantum randomness replaces reliance on conventional algorithms The system, known as Q-Dice, generates random numbers using quantum vacuum fluctuations rather than conventional software algorithms that may contain weaknesses. According to Fraunhofer IPMS, the technology delivers randomness at speeds exceeding 4 Gbit/s, with the hardware appliance rated at 4.1 Gbit/s. Random number generation forms a fundamental component of encryption, authentication, secure communications, and access control systems throughout modern digital infrastructure. Weak or predictable randomness can undermine otherwise robust security mechanisms, creating opportunities for attackers to exploit cryptographic vulnerabilities. Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get all the top news, opinion, features and guidance your business needs to succeed! Because Q-Dice randomness originates from quantum vacuum fluctuations rather than a mathematical formula, there is no underlying pattern for hackers to study. This means no seed value exists for attackers to calculate, predict, or reverse engineer, regardless of available computing power. Fraunhofer IPMS says Q-Dice derives entropy from inherently unpredictable quantum effects, producing outputs

Researchers from Duke University and IonQ announced Friday that they had produced a maximally entangled quantum state shared simultaneously across three separate, spatially isolated trapped-ion modules — a result that validates the photonic interconnect strategy at the heart of modular quantum computing and closes, for the first time in any fully distributed system, a key loophole in tests of quantum non-locality. The paper appeared June 15 on arXiv, where the team describes achieving state fidelity between 84.1% and 88.1% at a generation rate of 0.095 events per second — the highest fidelity and fastest rate ever reported for remote tripartite entanglement using photonic links. The single most important thing a technically literate reader gets from this article is a confirmed answer to a question that has defined quantum networking research for the past decade: can individually addressable, scalable atomic qubits be entangled across three separate hardware nodes without requiring local two-qubit gate operations or post-selection? As of June 20, 2026, the answer is yes. What Distinguishes This Result From Prior Three-Node Work Three-node entanglement has been demonstrated before, but in platforms that carry a fundamental scaling limitation. In 2021, a Dutch team led by Ronald Hanson at Delft University entangled three nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond at a GHZ fidelity of 54%, using local gate operations at a central node. In 2019, Chinese researchers produced a GHZ state in atomic ensembles at a fidelity of 71%, using a rate below 0.002 events per second and relying on the fair-sampling assumption. Both results required either a hybrid architecture — where one node performed local two-qubit gates to mediate the tripartite entanglement — or a platform where individual qubits cannot be independently controlled, detected, and replicated at scale. The Duke–IonQ experiment uses none of those crutches. Each of the three nodes contains a

Global inflation twists, central banks leaning tighter for longer, and energy and geopolitical tension have made it harder to feel confident about where to put fresh capital. One theme that cuts through that noise is founder-led companies, where leaders often hold substantial personal stakes and think in decades, not quarters. The Founder-Led Companies screener focuses your search on businesses where decision makers are heavily invested in their own track record. In this article, you will see 3 stocks from that screener that stand out as practical candidates for investors who want management teams deeply tied to long term outcomes. Lightspeed Commerce (TSX:LSPD) Overview: Lightspeed Commerce provides cloud-based software and payments tools that help retailers, restaurants, golf courses and other merchants run their businesses, from point of sale and inventory to online ordering, loyalty and payments. Its platform aims to give smaller operators the kind of integrated, omni-channel setup that large chains use to manage operations and connect with customers across in store and online channels. Operations: Lightspeed generates about US$1.23b in revenue primarily from software and programming, with most sales coming from the United States, followed by other international markets, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. Market Cap: CA$1.83b Lightspeed Commerce sits at the intersection of cloud software and digital payments, with over US$1.2b in annual revenue tied to recurring subscriptions and transaction fees. However, the stock trades well below Simply Wall St's DCF estimate and many analyst targets. The business is focusing on AI driven product upgrades and a growing payments mix. In addition, a new CTO hire and ongoing share buybacks indicate management confidence in its direction and valuation. At the same time, consistent losses, heavier reliance on external borrowing and intense competition from larger payment and POS providers mean execution needs to improve.
