Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- President Trump wrote, 'The emergence of large-scale quantum computers, and especially if they fall into the hands of adversaries, will pose a significant threat to widely used cryptographic security systems.
- To address this situation, there is a pressing need to act with a view to the 'post-quantum cryptography' world that will emerge after the development of quantum cryptography.
- In light of these threats, we must take steps to strengthen cryptographic protections for our nation's sensitive data, critical infrastructure, and digital economy.'.
- Quantum information technology will bring transformative capabilities to drive American innovation, boost economic growth, create high-paying jobs and strengthen national security.
Key claims in source B
- White House Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy Michael Kratsios said the order "calls for the development of the first-ever quantum computer powerful enough for scientific research, initiating a new…
- It's possible to meet these types of timelines." Last month, the Commerce Department announced it would take $2 billion in equity stakes across nine quantum-computing companies, including a new IBM venture.
- One of the orders also aims to strengthen international cooperation on intellectual property protections and supply chain security measures "in light of competitors and adversaries looking to undermine US economic and n…
- Such sensors can help aircraft navigate in war zones where global positioning systems have been disrupted and, when put in satellites, could also be used to detect underground activity such as the construction of tunnel…

-
evaluative label
Quantum computing has the potential to be orders of magnitude more powerful than the world's best supercomputers due to their radical design.
Evaluative labeling that nudges a normative interpretation.
