(Reuters) – The United States on Thursday published new controls on advanced technology, including quantum computing, in line with restrictions imposed by international partners.
Besides quantum computing, the controls affect technology for producing advanced semiconductors, additive manufacturing items and gate all-around field-effect transistor (GAAFET) technology, according to the Federal Register posting.
“Today’s action ensures our national export controls keep step with rapidly evolving technologies and are more effective when we work in concert with international partners,” Commerce official Alan Estevez said in a statement.
Other countries, including the United Kingdom, already have published similar controls.
