H.R. 3788 — Support for Quantum Supply Chains Act

This section directs the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), as part of the National Quantum Initiative Program, to establish or expand partnerships with public and private sector entities to accelerate development of domestic quantum supply chains and supply chain-supporting technologies and to reduce quantum supply chain vulnerabilities. The section also adds a goal to NIST's quantum consortium (convened to identify measurement, standards, and cybersecurity needs for the U.S. quantum industry) to identify quantum supply chain and supply chain-supporting technologies necessary to ensure U.S. competitiveness in quantum information science, technology, and engineering.
