"Quantum research and development is critical to our economic and national security," Young said in a press release. "This legislation prioritizes advancements in quantum and will help address technological and workforce challenges in the quantum sector."
The National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act would allocate $2.7 billion in public funding up to 2029 to advance critical research in QIST fields.
The reauthorization works to outfit federal offices like the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the National Science Foundation and NASA with more offices and testbeds devoted to QIST disciplines like computing, measurement and sensing.
Both congressional chambers have been working toward the passage of the NQI reauthorization bill since 2023, when the House Science, Space and Technology Committee advanced it to the House floor unanimously over one year ago.
