Army Quantum Readiness Act

AI-Generated Summary

Updated August 25, 2026 at 4:40 AM UTC

The Army Quantum Readiness Act directs the Secretary of the Army to create a program that prepares the Army to use quantum computing and related advanced technologies. The initiative will look at how these tools can improve operations, intelligence, logistics, and command systems, and will develop plans for infrastructure, workforce, and partnerships. A report on the findings and recommendations must be sent to Congress within about nine months.

Key Provisions

The Secretary must set up an Army Quantum Readiness and Advanced Computing Initiative to study and plan for quantum and advanced computing use in Army missions.
The initiative will identify practical Army applications, assess needed infrastructure (power, cooling, networking, cybersecurity), and explore fast‑track acquisition paths.
It will foster collaborations with Army labs, universities, research centers, and private industry, and create a workforce strategy for future quantum needs.
The Secretary may run pilot and demonstration projects on advanced computing architectures, quantum‑enabled AI, post‑quantum cybersecurity, and secure networking.
Within 270 days of the law’s enactment, the Secretary must report to defense committees detailing readiness requirements, infrastructure and workforce recommendations, pilot activities, and any needed legislative changes.

Mr. Moore of North Carolina introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services

A BILL

To direct the Secretary of the Army to establish an Army Quantum Readiness and Advanced Computing Initiative, and for other purposes.

Short title

This Act may be cited as the Army Quantum Readiness Act.

Army Quantum Readiness and Advanced Computing Initiative

(a)

Establishment

The Secretary of the Army shall establish an Army Quantum Readiness and Advanced Computing Initiative to prepare the Department of the Army for the integration of quantum computing, quantum-enabled technologies, and advanced computing capabilities into future operational, intelligence, logistics, and command-and-control missions.

(b)

Objectives

The Initiative shall—

(1)

identify Army operational applications of quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum networking, and quantum-enabled artificial intelligence;

(2)

assess infrastructure requirements necessary to support future quantum and advanced computing capabilities, including power, cooling, networking, cybersecurity, and secure facilities;

(3)

evaluate acquisition pathways capable of accelerating the transition of quantum technologies from research and development into operational use;

(4)

identify opportunities to leverage partnerships among Army laboratories, academic institutions, federally funded research and development centers, and private industry;

(5)

develop a workforce strategy to support future Army quantum and advanced computing requirements; and

(6)

establish pilot projects to evaluate advanced computing infrastructure supporting future quantum-enabled capabilities.

(c)

Quantum readiness demonstration activities

The Secretary may establish demonstration activities to evaluate—

(1)

advanced computing architectures supporting quantum technologies;

(2)

quantum-enabled artificial intelligence applications;

(3)

post-quantum cybersecurity capabilities;

(4)

resilient and secure networking architectures; and

(5)

infrastructure necessary to support future Army quantum capabilities.

(d)

Report

Not later than 270 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Army shall submit to the congressional defense committees (as defined in section 101(a) of title 10, United States Code) a report describing—

(1)

Army quantum readiness requirements;

(2)

recommended infrastructure investments;

(3)

workforce and educational requirements;

(4)

recommended pilot and demonstration activities; and

(5)

legislative or acquisition authorities necessary to accelerate Army quantum readiness.
