Advancing Regional Quantum Hubs Act of 2026

This bill changes the National Quantum Initiative Act to support regional programs in quantum information science and technology. It adds the Economic Development Administration to the federal subcommittee that coordinates quantum science work. That subcommittee would be tasked with helping federal agencies partner to build up the research, education, and business capacity of regions with strength in quantum-related fields. The National Science Foundation's quantum program, working with the Commerce and Energy Secretaries, and the Department of Energy's quantum research program, working with the Commerce Secretary and the National Science Foundation Director, would both be directed to support regional quantum innovation efforts.
