U.S. lawmakers have introduced the National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act to restore federal coordination of quantum research and policy after the original authorization lapsed. The bipartisan bill extends the initiative through 2034, establishes new NIST quantum centers and NSF research hubs, includes NASA quantum programs for the first time, and addresses post-quantum security concerns. The legislation aims to maintain U.S. leadership in quantum computing, sensing, and networking through sustained federal investment, workforce development, international cooperation with allies, and domestic supply chain strengthening.
