Advancements in Quantum Technology and Leadership

Okay, hold on tight, and enjoy the show.

Oh my gosh, how is this possible?

Time travel possible.

John Trump, whose namesake is Donald John Trump.

I needed to know more.

So our research team began scouring the globe and discovered the story of an extraordinary man and an American hero.

John G. Trump was a genius physicist who prolifically shaped American innovation.

He dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of our universe and shared his findings in ways that continue to improve our lives to this day.

Trump's groundbreaking work while a young professor at MIT transformed our understanding of radiation and electrostatic energy.

Known for his impressive contributions to the development of the Van de Graaff generator, his leadership enabled new scientific explorations and breakthroughs.

Quantum technologies represents the next generation of innovation across computing, sensing and networking with enormous significance for our country's economic growth.

Scientific research and cyber security is really a big deal that we're doing today and the country is doing really well, as you know.

In 2018, I signed the National Quantum Initiative Act into law, which led to doubling the federal government investment in quantum research and development.

I think you all know about that.

That helped unleash billions of dollars of private investment in America's quantum industrial base, promoting significant scientific and technological progress like progress like we've never seen before.

Actually, we want to keep that positive momentum going in America with the orders that I'm signing today.

And these will really have a place and a big step forward.

We're already the leader by a lot.

We're going to be now the leader by a lot more.

The first executive order launches a national effort to produce a quantum computer capable of performing important scientific calculations and to develop quantum enabled sensors and networks.

The next five years, we're going to be investing in American quantum leadership like never before to stay ahead of the pack.

We're way ahead right now. We'll keep it that way.

The second order I'm signing directs federal agency to transition to what is called quantum cryptography.

Does anybody know what that is?

You're going to hear very soon.

So you're going to find it interesting.

Cryptography for their computer systems by 2031 and to lead the way for wider adoption of these extremely strong security standards.

America is celebrating 250 years of ingenuity, innovation and invention this year.

And today's commitments to quantum leadership will help secure that legacy for decades to come.
