QIC sends letter to President and Congress urging National Quantum Initiative reauthorization

Written By Paul Stimers

Today the Quantum Industry Coalition, joined by the Alliance for Digital Innovation and SPIE, sent a letter to the President and congressional leaders urging them to reauthorize the National Quantum Initiative. The letter identifies seven priorities:

  • Expand research to include not only research on quantum technologies but also research with quantum technologies.

  • Help federal departments and agencies use quantum technology to advance their missions.

  • Offer milestone-based incentives.

  • Strengthen our domestic quantum supply chain.

  • Ensure that NQI funding eventually reaches U.S. quantum companies.

  • Support engagement with non-traditional government contractors and small businesses.

  • Grow the domestic quantum workforce.

The Quantum Industry Coalition looks forward to working with Congress and the President to ensure that the National Quantum Initiative is updated to enable American quantum leadership for years to come.
