National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act

This bill renews and updates the National Quantum Initiative Act, the federal program for research on quantum computing, sensing, and communications. It extends the program's end date to December 30, 2032, adds more federal agencies to its coordinating groups, and requires a strategy for working with other countries on quantum research. It directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology to promote post-quantum cryptography standards, allows grants to help high-risk organizations adopt them, and creates one to three quantum research centers. It also expands National Science Foundation education and training programs, including a workforce coordination hub, and bars certain funds from going to colleges with Confucius Institute agreements.
