National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act

This bill reauthorizes and expands the National Quantum Initiative Act to advance quantum information science, engineering, and technology through research, workforce development, and international cooperation. It updates definitions, purposes, and programs across multiple federal agencies, extends the program's sunset to December 30, 2032, and adds new initiatives for quantum acceleration centers, workforce hubs, and grid resilience.

Sec. 2, Definitions: Adds definitions for 'Confucius Institute' and 'Federal laboratory' and reorganizes existing definitions.

Sec. 3, Purposes: Broadens the act's purposes to include engineering and technology, expands workforce training to include K-12 and vocational education, and emphasizes retaining international talent consistent with national security.

Sec. 4, National Quantum Initiative Program: Expands program goals to include near-, medium-, and long-term demonstrations, diverse sector applications, infrastructure, and standards engagement, and changes 'pipeline' to 'pathway' for workforce development.

Sec. 5, National Quantum Coordination Office: Extends the director's term to four years, renewable, and adds duties to coordinate with nonprofit research organizations and promote quantum adoption.

Sec. 6, Subcommittee on Quantum Information Science: Adds the Departments of Health and Human Services, State, Homeland Security, Education, and NOAA to the subcommittee, and expands its focus to include application development, demonstration, and commercialization.

Sec. 7, National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee: Revises membership qualifications to include end users, small businesses, startups, and Federal labs, and updates duties to cover engineering, technology, and standards.

Sec. 8, Subcommittee on the Economic and Security Implications: Adds the Departments of Health and Human Services, State, and NASA to the subcommittee, and expands its scope to include supply chains and engineering.

Sec. 9, International Quantum Cooperation Strategy: Requires the Office of Science and Technology Policy to submit a strategy within one year for establishing international partnerships and coordinating quantum cooperation.

Sec. 10, Sunset: Extends the program's sunset date to December 30, 2032.

Sec. 11, NIST Activities and Quantum Consortium: Updates NIST's research to include engineering, technology, and post-quantum cryptography, and adds research on quantum repeaters and networks.

Sec. 12, NIST Quantum Acceleration Centers: Authorizes NIST to establish up to three centers through a competitive process to accelerate quantum research, development, and standardization.

Sec. 13, NSF Quantum Research and Education Activities: Expands NSF's program to include engineering and technology, and adds K-12 and vocational education to workforce development.

Sec. 14, Multidisciplinary Centers for Quantum Research and Education: Increases the number of centers from 5 to 10, and expands research areas to include health and technology transfer.

Sec. 15, Quantum Reskilling, Education, and Workforce (QREW) Coordination Hub: Establishes a hub led by a consortium of at least four institutions, including two community colleges, to coordinate quantum workforce education and reskilling.

Sec. 16, DOE Quantum Research Program: Expands DOE's program to include development and demonstration, and adds operation of National Quantum Information Science Research Centers and cooperative research with industry.

Sec. 17, DOE Quantum Instrumentation and Foundry Program: Establishes a program to develop domestic quantum supply chains and specialized equipment for quantum research.

Sec. 18, National Quantum Information Science Research Centers: Updates centers to include engineering, technology, and workforce development, and allows collaborations with commercial entities.

Sec. 19, DOE Quantum Network Infrastructure Program: Expands the program to include diverse quantum hardware and software, and adds education and training pathways.

Sec. 20, DOE Quantum User Expansion Program: Expands access to software and cloud-based quantum computers, and adds development of near-term quantum applications for public and private sector problems.

Sec. 21, Quantum Information Science for Electric Grid: Authorizes DOE research on using quantum technology to enhance grid resilience, security, and efficiency, including fault detection and post-quantum cryptography.

Sec. 22, Research Security: Requires activities under Title IV to comply with the Research and Development, Competition, and Innovation Act's research security provisions.

Sec. 23, NASA Quantum Activities: Authorizes NASA to conduct quantum research for space and aeronautics, designate a coordinator, and cooperate with other agencies.

Sec. 24, NSF Cryptography Research: Amends the Cyber Security Research and Development Act to include post-quantum cryptography in NSF's research.

Sec. 25, Clerical Amendments: Updates the table of contents to reflect new sections and titles added by this bill.
