The "American Quantum Competitiveness Act" aims to bolster the United States' commercial leadership in quantum technology and ensure the resilience of its trusted quantum supply chains . It designates the Secretary of Commerce as the principal advisor to the President on policies concerning the commercial manufacturing, deployment, and scaling of quantum technology. This includes advising on the supply of critical components and the establishment, maintenance, and resiliency of these trusted supply chains. To achieve these goals, the Secretary is directed to undertake various actions, such as supporting the commercial manufacturing and deployment of quantum technology. This involves promoting private sector investment in quantum technology within the United States. The Secretary may also enter into agreements with trusted suppliers , trusted foreign partners , other agencies, or states to further these objectives. The bill specifically requires the Secretary to promote the establishment and resiliency of trusted quantum supply chains by identifying and addressing investment barriers. A key provision involves establishing methods to identify critical components , assess their availability, and manage risks associated with acquiring components from "covered nations." Furthermore, the Secretary must publish a national strategy report every three years, detailing actions taken, emerging risks, and recommendations to strengthen U.S. economic competitiveness in quantum technology and trusted supply chains. This framework also includes a rule of construction protecting private sector entities from mandatory information sharing or implementation of recommendations.
