New quantum computing controls seek to advance efforts by the US and its allies and slow adversaries’ production






The DOC has released an interim final rule that will license export controls for a 38-plus member coalition of ‘like minded countries,’ seemingly attempting to thwart advances by China, Russia and others.

With the US and its allies in a semiconductor arms race, the Biden administration is continuing to push its efforts to keep the technology out of the “wrong hands” with new chip-related export controls.

The US Department of Commerce (DOC) this week released an interim final rule that will enforce License Exception Implemented Export Controls (IEC) for a 38-plus member coalition of “like-minded countries.” There is a 60-day public comment period before the final ruling.

“Aligning our controls on quantum and other advanced technologies makes it significantly more difficult for our adversaries to develop and deploy these technologies in ways that threaten our collective security,” Alan Estevez, under secretary for the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), said in a release.

While China is not explicitly named, it’s pretty heavily implied that this applies to that country, although it’s been clear that it has been able to get around such restrictions in the past, including gaining access to highly sought-after Nvidia chips. The DOC release does emphasize, however, that this is part of an ongoing effort to strengthen export controls to “degrade” the military capabilities of Russia and its “enablers,” Iran and Belarus.

Both the Biden and Trump administrations have used export controls to limit access to advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment, explained James Sanders, senior analyst at TechInsights. “Including quantum computing in the latest set of rules is easiest to understand as an extension of controls limiting access to high-performance chips for artificial intelligence,” he told CIO.
