CENTER FOR DATA INNOVATION 1 The U.S. Approach to Quantum Policy By Hodan Omaar | October 10, 2023 The government’s interest in quantum technologies dates back at least to the mid-1990s, when the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Department of Defense (DOD), and National Science Foundation (NSF) held their first workshops on the topic.1 NSF described the field of quantum information science in a 1999 workshop as “a new field of science and technology, combining and drawing on the disciplines of physical science, mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Its aim is to understand how certain fundamental laws of physics discovered earlier in this century can be harnessed to dramatically improve the acquisition, transmission, and processing of information.”2 In the nearly 25 years since NSF’s first workshop, quantum information science has advanced and its potential to drive major advances in computing power, secure communication, and scientific discovery have
