By expanding federal research on quantum simulations and modeling, we can power breakthroughs in automotive technology, battery development, and advanced materials.
She will expand federal research on quantum simulations and modeling.
Occurrences
Evidence
The enacted law creates a DOE quantum-network infrastructure R&D and demonstration program covering distributed quantum computing, quantum communications, and related simulation/modeling capabilities, with $100 million authorized annually for FY2023-FY2027.
Section 404 establishes DOE's Quantum User Expansion for Science and Technology program to give U.S.-based researchers access to quantum computing hardware and cloud resources, advancing the quantum research enterprise and associated modeling capabilities.
The House vote on concurring in the Senate amendment to H.R. 4346 passed 243-187-1; the roll call records Stevens, Democrat of Michigan, voting Yea.
The law amends the National Quantum Initiative Act to add NIST research on quantum cryptography, post-quantum classical cryptography, quantum networking, communications, sensing technologies, and standards, authorizing $15 million annually for FY2023-FY2027.
The House passed H.R. 4521 on February 4, 2022, and the roll call records Stevens, Democrat of Michigan, voting Yea.
Assessments
The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 enacted multiple federal quantum research expansions, including DOE quantum-network R&D and demonstration authority, the QUEST quantum computing access program, and added NIST quantum research authorizations. Stevens was in federal office and voted for the final House passage as well as the preceding House innovation package, giving her direct legislative credit for supporting the enacted expansion. Because the delivery occurred in later House service relative to the campaign promise context, timing is later_term.
