Commerce Secretary would lead efforts to make the U.S. a top player in quantum tech and secure its parts.
Currently, there isn't a clear government plan to make sure the U.S. leads in quantum technology or to protect its supply chain. This bill would direct the Secretary of Commerce to become the main advisor to the President on this topic. It would also require the Secretary to develop a national strategy. This strategy would boost U.S. leadership and secure the critical parts needed for quantum technology, especially from untrusted countries.
Today, there is no specific government office tasked with leading U.S. efforts in commercial quantum technology or securing its supply chains. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Commerce would become the President's main advisor on quantum technology. The Secretary would also create a national strategy and take actions to boost U.S. leadership and protect the supply of critical quantum components, publishing reports every three years.
