The Quantum Leadership in Emerging Applications and Policy Act of 2025, or the Quantum LEAP Act of 2025, establishes an independent commission within the legislative branch. This body, named the Commission on American Quantum Information Science and Technology Dominance , is tasked with examining and providing recommendations on emerging quantum information science. Its focus includes how these technologies pertain to the current and future missions of the United States Government and the private sector, aiming to secure U.S. leadership in this critical area. The Commission will comprise 12 members, appointed by congressional leadership, including both Members of Congress and private sector experts. These non-congressional members must be recognized experts with relevant experience in quantum information science, its applications, national policy, business leadership, or national and economic security. The Commission's review scope is broad, encompassing global competitiveness, maintaining technological advantage, international trends, fostering research and development investments, addressing commercialization barriers, and developing the necessary workforce. The Commission is required to submit an interim report within one year and a final report within two years to Congress and the President, detailing its findings and recommendations. Federal agencies are mandated to cooperate fully, providing necessary information and support. The bill also authorizes the Commission to utilize services from independent, non-governmental institutes and federally funded research and development centers, and it will terminate 540 days after submitting its final report.
