Quantum Insider – The U.S. Senate is moving to boost the country’s quantum research capabilities with a bipartisan bill that would authorize more than $2.5 billion in funding over five years, according to Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL).
The DOE Quantum Leadership Act of 2025, introduced by Durbin and Senator Steve Daines (R-MT), aims to expand quantum research and development (R&D) programs under the Department of Energy (DOE). The bill represents a significant increase from the now-expired National Quantum Initiative Act of 2018, which provided $625 million for DOE-related quantum programs.
