Why in what would seem to be a normal "fund the education in quantum technologies" order involve secret clearance delcarations?
(c) The Director may request that members of the Committee, its standing subcommittees, or ad hoc groups who do not hold a current clearance for access to classified information, receive appropriate clearances and access determinations pursuant to Executive Order 13526 of December 29, 2009 Start Printed Page 46874(Classified National Security Information), as amended, or any successor order.
I once worked for a lab that had secret projects related to quantum computing . This is pretty normal. They work on encryption and crypto-attacks that make use of quantum computing.
DoD projects go through DoE. There are some DoE projects that I know of that work on crypto and even network security. I have never heard of an HHS project working on these.
I think HHS has ties to FBI while DoE and DoD have ties to military.
This seems like research and development. If genuine quantum computers are imminent, banking will likely shift to cryptocurrency running hyperexponential cryptographic algorithms. I don’t know the current state of the art because just a few years ago this was a very niche field.
Again, what gets me is the movement to include higher clearance levels.
If it was JUST research and development, they wouldn't need to give the Director the ability to request higher clearance levels in line with the Department of Energy.
It could be implementation as well. My background tells me some time will pass before this is real, or my cryptography professor in undergrad is lying.
Years ago when I bought my Power Mac G4 I had to sign an agreement because at the time it met the definition of a super computer.
I really can’t the details but basically it could handle enough operations per cycle to do certain nuclear calculations in real time. I had to agree that I wouldn’t sell it to an unapproved nation.
A TRUMP EO with “Q”!❤️

Yeah, but why the Department of Energy though?
Wouldn't that go into Homeland Security?

Well, it would likely keep the compromised portions of the Bidet administration (which seems to be all of them) out of its affairs...

I don’t know if I am using the word niche correctly. I meant to say obscure and specialized.
Section 3
(d) The Department of Energy shall provide such funding and administrative and technical support as the Committee may require.
Department of Energy's most attributable clearance level with regards to nuclear energy is "Q" clearance.
Why does the Department of Energy get a say in matters of computer technology funding?
