Candice’s Current Thinking
Weekly analysis and perspectives on the AI and policy landscape.

Now, we are entering "Quantum 2.0." And the rules are changing.
This week, I'm tracking a draft White House Executive Order on quantum innovation and Los Alamos National Lab consolidating quantum researchers under one center.
For those already across the headlines, skip to "What I'm Watching" for insights, including why 2026 is the year of quantum security.
