The text provided is a media contact directory for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), rather than a news report detailing specific quantum standards. It lists key contacts for the Public Affairs Office, including the Public Affairs Director Jennifer Huergo and Media Relations Director Rich Press, who handle general inquiries and topics like forensic science and manufacturing. The office manages communications from NIST campuses in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Boulder, Colorado.
Among the specialists listed, Public Affairs Specialist Rebecca Jacobson is identified as the point of contact for topics including quantum technologies, physics, and nanotechnology. While the text confirms that NIST is the organization developing standards, it does not provide details on specific protocols, their current implementation status, or future timeframes. The document primarily serves to connect journalists with the appropriate NIST experts for interviews and information requests.
