I'm on with @PrinehaN talking quantum computing and the fate of encryption today at The Frontier!
We talk about the latest results from Google/Oratomic, post-quantum crypto, and how long it'll take for quantum scientists to get the respect they deserve:

Lots of exciting things happening in the quantum world, which as @PrinehaN and I have written is increasingly breaking out of the lab and into the market and the battlefield. Listen up!
I’m extremely honored to be nominated by President Trump to serve as Director of the National Science Foundation.
Heroic scientists have always challenged consensus to advance the frontiers of knowledge. Recently, many institutions have weakened academic freedom and lost the trust they once enjoyed. Yet across our country, a new golden age of discovery is dawning. Information is open source and debate is public.
The marketplace of ideas is not an efficient market. Finding and funding independent thinkers and builders has taught me to eliminate bottlenecks and favor rigorous science that replicates. Private funders are developing frontier models and useful technology. Government should take bigger financial risks to pose and answer deeper questions.
NSF’s scientists and staff have built something worth strengthening. Working together, scientists, engineers, investors, research institutions, and businesses can support American genius, enhance national security, enrich our economy, and improve our quality of life.
Entropy is on the march and China is not waiting.
Thanks to the @NASAJPL workforce for coming out this weekend - it was great to hear from you directly and it was even more impressive to see the projects and hardware you are working on.
JPL has made historic contributions to science and discovery: rovers, telescopes, countless sensors and instruments, and so much more… now we need to find out how to do a lot more of it 💪🔭
Great piece covering a pretty cool breakthrough. @PrinehaN rightly points out Google’s advancement on algorithms and software is a big deal for bringing applications and services to market. Quantum tech is breaking out the lab…
The U.S. has long been home to a vast amount of high-value manufacturing—whether of chemicals, electronics, machinery, vehicles, or foods. We see tremendous opportunity in fully modernizing all of it.

DCVC is doubling down on quantum!
Big welcome to UCLA Prof. Prineha Narang as a @DCVC Operating Partner. Pri heads a lab at the intersection of theoretical and computational science, condensed matter physics, quantum photonics, + quantum info science. Find blog in comments👇
The minds behind tomorrow’s breakthroughs are coming together Nov. 13 in DC at our American Innovation Gala.
We’re excited to share that Nobel Laureate John M. Martinis, @FCC Chairman @BrendanCarrFCC, and @USOPM Director @skupor will all be taking the stage for fireside chats!
Great to see quantum as a headline at next month's American Innovation Gala!
John will be participating in a fireside chat with @JoinFAI Senior Non-Resident Fellow Prineha Narang (@NarangLab).
@WarOnTheRocks@NarangLab Stay tuned for Part 2, where we examine the current state of quantum supply chains, where US companies are most exposed, and provide some ideas on how we can fortify and expand access to critical inputs for this new class of technologies.
@WarOnTheRocks@NarangLab QT will help improve existing processes, but really should be thought of as a distinct technology, moreso like a GPT, or new platform for technological advancement.
Today, @WarOnTheRocks published the first piece of what will be a four-part series from @NarangLab and I on US Quantum Competitiveness. The US is a leader in academic research and corporate R&D, but as we will discuss in this and following pieces, such a position is far from secure.
An incredible bench of leaders who are critical to @POTUS’ science and tech agenda was just confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
Congratulations @NOAA Under Secretary Jacobs, @StateDept Under Secretary @jacobhelberg, @DFCgov CEO Black, and many more.
We're thrilled to reveal our first speaker for the American Innovation Gala:
@USOPM Director Scott Kupor will join us for a fireside chat on AI, talent, and modernizing the federal workforce with @deanwball on Nov. 13 at DC's Mellon Auditorium.
More great speakers coming soon!
Congratulations to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for winning the @NobelPrize in Physics!
Their brilliant work at UC Berkeley demonstrating quantum tunneling in electric circuits has been critical to our understanding of quantum computing.
John M. Martinis – awarded this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics – was born in 1958.
He received his PhD in 1987 from the @UCBerkeley, Berkeley, USA. He is now a professor at the @ucsantabarbara, Santa Barbara, USA.
