Referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
This bill amends the National Quantum Initiative Act to require the National Institute of Standards and Technology to establish partnerships with public and private sector companies to develop domestic quantum supply chain technologies and reduce vulnerabilities in the quantum supply chain. The legislation aims to strengthen U.S. competitiveness in quantum science and technology by identifying and advancing supply chain-supporting technologies needed for the industry. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines but directs NIST to work with both government and private sector partners on these supply chain development efforts. This legislation affects quantum technology companies, research institutions, and manufacturers involved in the quantum information science sector. By focusing on supply chain resilience, the bill seeks to reduce American dependence on foreign sources for critical quantum technology components.
