This bill tells the Secretary of Commerce to lead federal efforts to support the commercial side of quantum technology and to promote "trusted quantum supply chains." It defines key terms such as "critical component," "quantum technology," "trusted supplier," and "trusted foreign partner." The Secretary must act as the President's main adviser on commercial manufacturing, deployment, and scaling of quantum technology and on the supply and availability of critical components. The Secretary may use Commerce Department authority to support U.S. manufacturing, encourage private investment, enter agreements with trusted suppliers, trusted foreign partners, agencies, States, and other entities, and consult industry stakeholders. The bill also requires the Secretary to identify barriers to investment, assess and reduce risks from components supplied by covered nations, and coordinate risk work with trusted partners, trusted suppliers, and relevant agencies. Within 2 years of enactment and every 3 years after, the Secretary must publish a publicly available report describing actions taken, emerging risks or long-term trends for quantum technology and critical components, and a comprehensive strategy to advance U.S. commercial leadership and trusted supply chain resiliency. The bill states it does not require private firms to share information or to implement Secretary recommendations, and it does not require disclosure of confidential business information or trade secrets.
