## Summary

**Explicitly adds quantum molecular modeling and simulation to the federal quantum research agenda.** This bill amends the National Quantum Initiative Act by inserting "modeling, simulation" into the definition of Quantum Information Science and by adding quantum molecular modeling or simulation to the list of eligible research topics, and it frames potential benefits including faster, more accurate chemical simulations to improve drug design, boost battery and superconductor development, create stronger lighter metals, produce more durable protective materials, and enable lower‑energy fertilizers.

## Provisions PRIA read

- More grants for quantum modeling research: benefit, low. This bill would expand the legal definition of Quantum Information Science to include modeling and simulation. It would also add quantum molecular modeling or simulation to the list of research topics federal QIS programs can support. If enacted, university researchers, national labs, and private c…
