Evidence

Roll Call 404 on H.R. 4346 was a Yea-and-Nay vote on the motion to concur; status: Passed, 243-187-1. The vote list records Stevens, Democratic, Michigan, as Yea.

Stevens voted yes on H.R. 4346, the bill that became Public Law 117-167 and amended the National Quantum Initiative Act. This is direct evidence that she supported the legislative vehicle containing later NQI quantum modeling provisions.

GovInfo identifies H.R. 4346 as Public Law 117-167, approved August 9, 2022, and lists legislative history showing the House concurred in the Senate amendment on July 28, 2022.

The bill Stevens supported became enacted law in August 2022, during a later House term than her first term after the 2018 campaign.

Public Law 117-167 amended Title IV of the National Quantum Initiative Act to add the Department of Energy Quantum User Expansion for Science and Technology program. The program facilitates access to U.S. quantum computing hardware and quantum clouds for research and includes advancing associated simulations or modeling capabilities.

The enacted law added a quantum user program to the National Quantum Initiative that explicitly covers simulations or modeling capabilities, but the text does not specifically say 'molecular simulations.'

Contest this evidence item

The National Quantum Initiative Act compilation lists the DOE QUEST program and states that it encourages access to quantum computing hardware and clouds for research purposes to advance quantum computing capabilities and associated simulations or modeling capabilities.

The current NQI statutory compilation reflects that modeling and simulation capabilities were included in the NQI after P.L. 117-167. This supports a partial fulfillment finding because the enacted text is broad rather than molecular-specific.

The NQI compilation describes NSF quantum centers involving multiple disciplines including chemistry and material science, and DOE quantum research fields including quantum computational science, applied mathematics and algorithm development, and materials science and engineering.

The law connects NQI quantum research to chemistry, materials, computation, and algorithms, which are adjacent to molecular simulation and modeling, but it still does not explicitly create a molecular-simulation line item.

Assessments

partial later_term A for effort

Stevens supported the legislative vehicle that became Public Law 117-167 by voting yes on H.R. 4346. That law amended the National Quantum Initiative to include DOE quantum user access and associated simulations or modeling capabilities, and it connects NQI research to areas such as chemistry, materials, computation, and algorithms. However, the enacted provisions appear broader than the promise and do not specifically include a distinct quantum molecular simulations and modeling requirement. Because the relevant NQI modeling language passed in 2022, after her first House term following the 2018 campaign, timing is later_term.
