Quantum in Practice Act
This bill, known as the Quantum in Practice Act, amends the National Quantum Initiative Act to formally include quantum modeling and simulation as a core area of research. It directly affects federal agencies and researchers involved in quantum information science by updating the legal definition and adding specific funding priorities for quantum molecular modeling. The legislation aims to support scientific work that could lead to breakthroughs in areas like fertilizer production, drug development, battery technology, and new materials. By making these changes, the bill ensures that federal quantum research programs explicitly cover the development and study of quantum simulations for practical applications.
