I think it's safe to assume everything this regime does "may not be entirely legal".

The big issue with quantum computing and Photonic computing research is that almost everyone is off on a different path hiding IP, overinflating, and sometimes just lying about their findings to gain more funding. So tbh, it sounds like Trump would fit in beautifully. I would be shocked if anymore than 1% of the startup quantum and Photonic companies in existence now actually end up creating a useful, real world repeatable, successful usable devices or parts of a device.
