Industry group calls on Trump to appoint a quantum czar
Briefly

The Quantum Industry Coalition has urged President Trump to reauthorize the National Quantum Initiative Act, promoting updates to reflect the significant advancements in the quantum sector since its enactment in 2018. The coalition emphasizes the need for a greater emphasis on commercial applications and a nimble approach to innovation. Additionally, they propose appointing a 'quantum czar' to oversee the National Quantum Coordination Office, aiming to foster adoption of quantum technologies and enhance workforce training in the federal and private sectors.
A reauthorized NQI should account for the six years of progress and innovation that the U.S. quantum industry has made since you signed the original bill into law.
This means expanding the focus from pure research to include quantum applications and commercialization.
