This bill would change the National Quantum Initiative Act, the federal law that guides quantum research. It would add the Department of Health and Human Services to two federal subcommittees on quantum information science and add social benefit to the law's purposes. It would add nonprofit research organizations to the groups the National Quantum Coordination Office and the advisory committee work with. It would also raise the maximum number of quantum research and education centers from 5 to 10. It would add health as a research field for these centers and require them to describe outreach to women and other groups historically underrepresented in STEM.
