What does Preamble of S 1343 do?

This bill aims to improve coordination between the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation regarding activities within the National Quantum Initiative Program. The bill's stated purpose is to improve coordination and includes 'other purposes' not further specified in this section.

What does SHORT TITLE. of S 1343 do?

This bill is formally titled the Advancing Quantum Manufacturing Act of 2025.

What does COORDINATION BETWEEN DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND NATIONAL SCIENCE of S 1343 do?

This section amends Section 102 of the National Quantum Initiative Act. It redesignates subsection (c) as (d) and inserts a new subsection (c) establishing a liaison between the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation. The liaison, appointed by the Director of the Coordination Office, will ensure coordination and avoid duplication of activities under the Program. It expresses the sense of Congress that activities and research by the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation should include a broad range of quantum information science and enabling technologies. These technologies include gate-based and annealing-based quantum computing, various qubit technologies (topological materials, photons, trapped ions, etc.), and critical quantum-enabling technologies (single photon sources, lasers, cryogenic technologies, etc.).

What does ESTABLISHMENT OF MANUFACTURING USA INSTITUTE FOR QUANTUM of S 1343 do?

This section establishes a Manufacturing USA Institute for Quantum Manufacturing. The Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the Secretary of Energy, is tasked with determining necessary manufacturing capabilities for quantum components and systems and identifying gaps in access. The Secretary may establish or provide financial assistance to a Manufacturing USA institute focused on quantum computing, sensing, and communication. The institute must provide an end-to-end manufacturing ecosystem encompassing design, fabrication, and testing of quantum technologies. The institute will offer prototyping capabilities for researchers and developers. A key goal is to develop a resilient quantum supply chain, prioritizing components from U.S. allies and increasing domestic production of critical goods. The institute will support workforce development in quantum manufacturing.

What does STUDIES RELATING TO NATIONAL QUANTUM INITIATIVE PROGRAM. of S 1343 do?

This section mandates two studies related to the National Quantum Initiative Program. The Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy will seek an agreement with the National Academies to conduct an independent study assessing the Program's progress in achieving its purposes and goals, including sensing, communications, computing, and workforce development. The National Academies' study will assess progress made by the Program. The consortium convened by the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology must conduct a study on impediments to collaboration between various research centers, industry, and academia under the Program. This consortium must submit a report to the Senate and House Committees outlining findings and recommendations for legislative action to address these impediments. The report must include an overview of current research, funding breakdown by quantum technology, and identification of potential risks.
