§8851 Quantum information science research program

Summary

The Secretary of Energy must run a basic research program on quantum information science. The Secretary must set research goals and build on existing quantum research. The program must give research experience and training to more undergraduate and graduate students in areas like quantum information theory, quantum physics, quantum computing, applied math and algorithms, quantum networking, quantum sensing, and materials science. It must also coordinate work across DOE programs (including the Nanoscale Science Research Centers, Energy Frontier Research Centers, Energy Innovation Hubs, National Laboratories, the Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the National Quantum Information Science Research Centers) and with other federal agencies, research groups, and users of the research.
