Business Wire
What’s New: This week, the U.S. Senate is reviewing its
version of the National Quantum Initiative Act (S. 3143), a
bipartisan bill to create a 10-year coordinated federal program to
accelerate quantum research and development for the economic and
national security of the United States. The bill aims to ensure
U.S. leadership in quantum information science by supporting
research and development, improving interagency planning and
coordination, promoting public-private partnerships, and promoting
the development of international standards.

“When it comes to quantum computing research,
we’re at mile one of a marathon. The U.S. has long been at the
cutting edge of technology; a fact that has propelled our progress
for decades. As nations around the world race to lead in quantum
information science, the U.S. will require collaboration of
industry, academia and the federal government to keep pace. The
National Quantum Initiative Act is a great step forward, and Intel
applauds the bipartisan leadership in Congress on their
progress.”-- Jim Clarke, director of quantum hardware, Intel
Corporation
Why It’s Important: The National Quantum Initiative Act
will ensure the United States remains competitive in a global race
to build quantum technologies.
Quantum computing is an exciting new computing paradigm with
unique problems to be solved and new physics to be discovered.
Academia, governments and companies are racing to advance quantum
science given its potential to solve problems beyond the reach of
conventional computers. For example, quantum computers may simulate
nature to advance research in chemistry, materials science and
molecular modeling.
Intel’s Context: In 2015, Intel initiated a significant
investment in quantum research. Today, Intel is making fast
progress toward developing commercially viable quantum computing
systems, including the introduction of a 49-qubit superconducting
test chip called “Tangle Lake.”
Federal Context: This week’s progress in the Senate
follows progress in the U.S. House of Representatives on its
version of the bill, H.R. 6227. In June, the U.S. House Science,
Space, and Technology Committee unanimously approved the
legislation.
