Executive Order 13885: Establishing the National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee

President: Donald J. Trump

EO 13885 established an advisory committee for the National Quantum Initiative to report on quantum information science and technology.

Status: Revoked.

Is Executive Order 13885 still in effect? No. Revoked and replaced by EO 14073 on May 4, 2022.

What does Executive Order 13885 do?

The order set membership and support arrangements but did not itself appropriate research funds. EO 14073 revoked it in May 2022 and set a revised committee structure, so the advisory function continued under a different presidential order.

Evidence review, September 23, 2026: The Federal Register index records the later relationship: Revoked by EO 14073. The linked successor text should be read for the exact scope.

Administration position: EO 14073 §5 revoked EO 13885 and issued a new committee framework; revocation of the 2019 instrument does not mean the statutory National Quantum Initiative ended.
