The White House on June 22, 2026, issued Executive Order 14413 titled Ushering in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation. The order establishes the Quantum Computer for Application Development and Discovery Science (QC-ADDS) Effort, coordinated by the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology. The national effort is directed to pursue development of a quantum computer at a scale intended to initiate the era of quantum-enabled scientific discovery, with the intent to deliver at least one such computer to a Department of Energy facility and, to the extent possible, make it available to the scientific community. Within 90 days, the Secretary of Energy, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology and other agencies, is required to identify technical specifications for a QC-ADDS to perform transformative scientific applications on a path toward economically significant applications beyond current classical computer capabilities and to publicly release a summary of those specifications as appropriate. Within 180 days, the Secretary of Energy, in consultation with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, shall explore potential private-sector partnership models to understand the potential cost, scope, and time frame for delivery of at least one QC-ADDS. The Secretary of Commerce is directed to develop a plan, potentially including advance market commitments, to encourage contributions to the QC-ADDS Effort from commercial quantum computing companies. The order further directs the Secretary of War to establish or designate activities and programs to develop tools and capabilities necessary to advance readiness for national security applications of quantum computing, potentially including the establishment of a center for such purpose.
