The Quantum Leaders Education and Advancement Program Act (Q-LEAP) extends the National Science Foundation's existing Next Generation Quantum Leaders Pilot Program by two years, moving its authorization deadline from 2026 to 2028. The program funds education and training initiatives designed to teach students and teachers the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, preparing the next generation of quantum science professionals. This reauthorization allows the NSF to continue supporting quantum education efforts without requiring a new approval process. The bill does not specify additional funding amounts but ensures the program can maintain its current operations through 2028. The legislation was introduced in December 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
