Supply chain challenges loom large in quantum race, White House official says

The White House says the quantum race is being slowed by a fragmented and international supply chain spanning computing, sensing, networking, and multiple computing modalities. Officials also warned that limited funding, encryption risks, and difficulty benchmarking progress make it harder for the United States to build quantum capabilities quickly. #NationalQuantumCoordinationOffice #WhiteHouseOfficeofScienceandTechnologyPolicy #DonaldTrump #InternationalInstituteforStrategicStudies #CenterforaNewAmericanSecurity
