STARSET_MirrorU.S. Senate bills would emphasize quantum computing
There’s a worldwide race to dominate quantum computing, and two new pieces of legislation might help the US claim the lead. Senator Kamala Harris has introduced the first, the Quantum Computing Research Act, to provide a “competitive edge” in development. It would create a Quantum Computing Research Consortium in the Department of Defense to coordinate progress, offer grants and oversee initiatives. The measure would boost the economy, create jobs and bolster national security, if you ask Harris.
在全球范围内，有一场争夺量子计算主导地位的竞赛，两项新的立法可能有助于美国取得领先地位。参议员卡马拉·哈里斯提出了第一个法案，即量子计算研究法案，以在发展中提供“竞争优势”。它将在国防部建立一个量子计算研究财团，以协调进展、提供资助和监督倡议。如果你问哈里斯原因，那就是这项措施将提振经济、创造就业机会和加强国家安全。
Gizmodo, meanwhile, has seen a second draft bill that would start a decade-long National Quantum Initiative Program to set priorities for developing the technology, including investments and partnerships. The Department of Energy, National Science Foundation, National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Director of National Intelligence would all foster education and research. The bill would also create up to five Quantum Information Science research centers as well as two Quantum Research and Education centers.与此同时，Gizmodo已经看到了第二份法案草案，该草案将启动一个长达十年的国家量子计划，以确定开发该技术的优先事项，包括投资和合作伙伴关系。能源部、国家科学基金会、国家标准与技术研究所和国家情报局局长都将促进教育和研究。该法案还将建立多达五个量子信息科学研究中心以及两个量子研究和教育中心。
