🧵 U.S. Quantum Policy Shift — why Constellation & Hedera fit the infrastructure layer
The Trump Administration is drafting a new executive order to reshape U.S. quantum policy.
Led by OSTP, the focus is clear: deployment, resilience, and commercialization, not just research.

1️⃣ What the policy is really about
The draft executive order emphasizes:
• protecting critical technology
• securing supply chains
• accelerating commercialization
• coordinating across DoD, Commerce, Energy
• building long-term strategic resilience
This is not academic quantum research.
It’s national infrastructure planning.
2️⃣ The missing layer: operational trust
Quantum computing doesn’t just threaten cryptography.
It stresses how trust is proven in digital systems.
In government, defense, and critical infrastructure, systems must provide:
• verifiable event histories
• immutable audit trails
• provable timestamps
• chain-of-custody for data
• long-term cryptographic agility
This is whe
