SandboxAQ CEO Jack Hidary Named to Commission on U.S. Quantum Primacy

SandboxAQ CEO Jack Hidary has been named a member of the newly announced Commission on U.S. Quantum Primacy (CUSP), a bipartisan initiative launched by the Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP).

The commission brings together leaders from government, academia, and industry to help shape a national strategy to maintain U.S. leadership in quantum technologies as they move from research into real-world deployment.

About the Commission

The Commission on U.S. Quantum Primacy will evaluate the current state of the U.S. quantum ecosystem and develop policy recommendations to strengthen long-term leadership in this critical technology sector.

Its work focuses on three key priorities:

• ‍Building a Secure Quantum Industrial Base: Strengthening talent pipelines, hardware development, and supply chains needed to sustain long-term technological leadership.
• Maintaining Information Advantage: Advancing algorithms, architectures, and security protocols that protect critical information and enable next-generation computing capabilities.
• Accelerating Integration and Hybridization: Promoting practical deployments that combine quantum and classical systems to deliver real-world impact.

The Need for Quantum Leadership

Quantum technologies are transitioning rapidly from theoretical research to practical applications across areas such as national security, pharmaceuticals, materials science, financial systems, and advanced manufacturing.

As global competition accelerates, maintaining leadership in quantum innovation is increasingly seen as essential to economic competitiveness and national security.

SandboxAQ’s Role

SandboxAQ develops technologies at the intersection of AI and quantum science, applying large quantitative models (LQMs) to complex problems in healthcare, cybersecurity, financial services, and energy.

Jack Hidary’s participation in the Commission reflects SandboxAQ’s ongoing engagement in the broader quantum ecosystem and discussions shaping its future.
