The ASCET Center of Excellence, operated by ASTM International with support from NIST, has launched its first Information and Data Sharing Hub to coordinate U.S. leadership in emerging technology standards. While the article does not focus on a single quantum computing protocol or standard, it explicitly lists quantum technology as one of four priority areas for the initiative. The platform is currently live and actively gathering resources, acting as a centralized clearinghouse for industry groups, researchers, policymakers, and small businesses to track and participate in standardization efforts.
By providing updated technology roadmaps, reference materials, and compliance assessment tools, the hub helps stakeholders identify gaps in current guidelines and engage earlier in their development. This coordinated approach is expected to accelerate the commercial rollout of quantum systems by reducing technical confusion, streamlining market access, and strengthening U.S. competitiveness on the global stage. The platform will continuously expand as new guidelines emerge, with ASCET planning ongoing workshops and advisory meetings through 2025 to guide its growth and ensure it adapts to evolving industry needs.
