Quantum technologies are crucial for economic competitiveness and national security. The National Quantum Initiative (NQI) was established by President Trump in 2018 to advance quantum information science. Breakthroughs in qubit coherence and system scaling have progressed, highlighting the need for a reauthorized NQI to integrate AI and quantum computing.

The Genesis Mission aims to double the nation’s R&D productivity within a decade by integrating AI, high-performance computing, and quantum systems. Congress is urged to reauthorize the NQI to align strategies with the current technological landscape. AI and quantum computing are foundational for future supercomputers, revolutionizing scientific instruments.

Quantum-GPU supercomputing requires system-level integration of classical and quantum systems. NVIDIA’s NVQLink and CUDA-Q technologies enable seamless unification for quantum-GPU architectures. The integration of AI is essential for scaling and deploying quantum computing, leading to accelerated workflows in national laboratories and industry.

To support American quantum leadership, a reauthorized NQI must evolve to enable system-level deployment. Goals include funding for quantum digital twins, integrations for quantum error correction, AI integration, flagship hybrid applications, and benchmarking standards. The integration of AI and quantum computing will drive economic competitiveness and scientific leadership.

Reauthorizing the National Quantum Initiative is crucial for sustaining U.S. leadership in quantum technology. The integration of AI and quantum computing is key to unlocking economic competitiveness and national security. Congress must prioritize the reauthorization of the NQI to ensure America remains at the forefront of research and innovation.
