The White House Summit on American Quantum Innovation convened senior U.S. government officials, leaders from quantum companies, and other key stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities for the American quantum ecosystem.

President Donald Trump signed a historic executive order on accelerating American quantum innovation. This order directs federal agencies to update the National Quantum Strategy, written under the first Trump Administration. It directs the government to work with industry and academia to fulfill ambitious technical milestones, including developing a quantum computer capable of scientific discovery. Other priorities of this executive action include protecting the quantum ecosystem with a resilient supply chain, supporting the development of an American quantum workforce, and building engagements with international partners.
