Quantum USA 2026

Quantum technologies are moving from theoretical research to operational reality, rapidly becoming central to economic competitiveness, national security, and scientific leadership. With global investment accelerating and technological competition intensifying, the window for the United States to secure a durable advantage is narrowing.

Artificial intelligence and quantum science now sit at the top of U.S. federal research and development priorities. As policymakers refine the next phase of national quantum policy, critical questions are emerging around how to build a coherent strategy that strengthens the quantum ecosystem, accelerates commercialization, and ensures long-term technological leadership.

Quantum USA will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and technology experts to explore what a comprehensive U.S. quantum strategy should look like in the years ahead. Discussions will span governance and investment, supply chain resilience, workforce development, international collaboration, real-world applications of quantum computing, and the growing urgency of post-quantum cybersecurity.
