Leveraging Quantum Computing Act

HR 3987, the Leveraging Quantum Computing Act, requires the National Quantum Coordination Office to work with federal agencies to identify how quantum computing could help their missions. The bill directs the Office to develop specific plans for each identified use case, such as acquiring quantum computers or using cloud-based systems, and to consult with relevant agencies and private partners. It mandates annual reports to Congress detailing outreach efforts, identified use cases, progress on implementation plans, and any funding obstacles. The bill directly affects federal agencies seeking to adopt quantum technology and aims to streamline their coordination with the private sector.
