Biden to sign executive order, national security memo to advance quantum technologies

Biden admin pushes to 'protect against this quantum computing threat tomorrow'

President  Biden is expected to sign an executive order and a national security memo Wednesday to advance quantum information science in an effort to place the United States in a position to be able to "leapfrog well ahead" of adversaries and mitigate risks that the emerging technology poses to national and economic security.

A senior administration official said the U.S. has "long been a global leader" in the development of new technologies, including quantum, a broad field of science and engineering.

Quantum technologies are not a replacement to traditional computers, but rather a "fundamentally different kind of computer" with the ability to analyze information in ways that traditional computers cannot. Quantum technologies, according to officials, have shown the potential to drive innovation in the American economy.

"The goal of both the executive order and the National Strategy Memorandum is to ensure that we leapfrog well ahead of everyone else, both by promoting quantum information science and the benefits it can potentially bring from energy to medicine, in various areas of the economy, as well as to begin what will likely be a decade long transition to protect our systems from an adversary having a potential quantum computer," a senior administration official said.

The official added: "America must start the lengthy process of updating our IT infrastructure today to protect against this quantum computing threat tomorrow."

 The president’s executive order is set to "foster" those advances by committing to promoting those breakthroughs. The order is set to enhance the National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee, which is the federal government’s advisory body for quantum information science and technology, by placing it under the authority of the White House.

A senior administration official said the move would ensure the president, Congress, federal departments and agencies, and the general public receive "the most current, accurate and relative quantum information, science and technology to drive forward U.S. policymaking in this area."

The president is also set to sign a national security memo outlining his administration’s plans to address the risks posed by quantum computers to America’s cybersecurity.

"Current research shows that at some point in the not too distant future, when quantum information science matures and quantum computers are able to reach a sufficient size and level of sophistication, they'll be capable breaking much of the cryptography that currently secures our digital communications," a senior administration official said.

"They underscore the president's commitment to fostering innovation and cutting edge science and technology while continuing to take the necessary steps to safeguard the economy and infrastructure of the future," the official said. "This balanced approach of both foster, promote and protect rests on the president's conviction that cybersecurity and technological innovation are not in conflict. but rather are complementary and essential to the success of one another."

The president’s national security memo sets requirements for federal agencies to update those cryptographic systems and directs agencies to develop "comprehensive plans to safeguard American intellectual property, research and development and other sensitive technology" from being acquired by adversaries.

Pimpy  Article:  "Despite the Sadrists' statement, the coordination framework announces an effective rapprochement at the beginning of next month"   Here the Coordination Framework announced...everything is honky dory.  The coordination Framework will join up with Sadr movement and they will form the largest block.  They're making it sound like everything is peaches and cream...only to have Sadr come behind them and deny them all together...

Tishwash:  Muqtada al-Sadr calls on "independent deputies" to form a government in Iraq within 15 days

Today, Wednesday, the leader of the Sadrist movement in Iraq, Muqtada al-Sadr, called on "independent deputies" to form a government within 15 days.

Al-Sadr said in a tweet on his official account on Twitter, reported by the Iraqi News Agency, "After consulting with the allies in the largest coalition, I say that the current political process has three parties, the first party: the Great National Alliance (the Alliance to Save the Homeland), which is The sponsor of the national majority, but because of the Iraqi judiciary's decision to activate the blocking third, he delayed the formation of the majority government."

He added, "The second party is the coordination framework calling for the consensus government, and we gave it a deadline of forty days, and it failed to form the consensus government."

And he added, "The third party is the independent individuals in Parliament. We call on them to (independent formation) of no less than forty of them away from the coordination framework that took its chance, and the independents should join the larger coalition to form an independent government. We will inform them of some details of it later."

Al-Sadr stressed that the largest coalition will vote on their government, including the Sadrist bloc, in agreement with the Sunnis and Kurds of the coalition, and the Sadrist movement will not have a participation in its ministers, provided that this is within a maximum period of 15 days, in order to speed up the end of the suffering of the people. 

Al-Sadr added, "I also repeat my call to some of those whom we think well of from the coordination framework of the alliance with the Sadrist bloc, hoping for them to give priority to national interests over narrow interests and to get out of the neck of forced political obstruction as they express." link
