Bill > HR3788

This bill amends the National Quantum Initiative Act to enhance the United States' quantum technology capabilities by expanding the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) role in developing quantum supply chains. Specifically, the bill requires NIST to establish and expand partnerships with both public and private sector entities to accelerate the development of domestic quantum supply chain technologies and reduce supply chain vulnerabilities. The bill also directs NIST to identify quantum supply chain and supporting technologies that are critical to maintaining U.S. competitiveness in quantum information science, technology, and engineering. Quantum information science is an emerging field that uses quantum mechanical phenomena like superposition and entanglement to perform complex computational tasks, and this bill aims to strengthen the United States' position in this technologically advanced domain by addressing potential weaknesses in the supply chain and supporting domestic technological development.
