Department of Commerce Implements Controls on Quantum Computing and Other Advanced Technologies Alongside International Partners

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published an interim final rule (IFR) today implementing controls on critical and emerging technologies that have reached broad technical agreement among our international partners. This IFR includes controls related to quantum computing, semiconductor manufacturing, and other advanced technologies. Today’s action strengthens our international relationships with like-minded countries and ensures that U.S. export controls keep pace with rapidly advancing technologies that pose serious threats to our national security when in the wrong hands.
