Congressman Nick Langworthy has introduced the American Quantum Competitiveness Act, a bill that aims to designate the Department of Commerce as the lead agency for the commercial advancement of quantum technologies. This legislation calls for the development of a national strategy in this domain.
The proposal includes measures to bolster domestic manufacturing and the commercialization of quantum technologies, while also identifying critical components and reducing supply chain reliance on foreign countries. The bill has been submitted to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for consideration.
