The ASCET Center of Excellence, a joint initiative between ASTM International and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), recently held its first workshop to plan standardization efforts for critical technologies. Launched in early 2025, the group has identified quantum technologies as a top priority for future work, aiming to help the U.S. lead in setting global rules for these systems.
No specific quantum standard has been finalized yet, but the organization plans to release tools and playbooks to guide development in the coming years. The ultimate goal is to expand American influence in international standardization, ensuring U.S. interests are protected as quantum technologies move from research to real-world use.
