Quantum in Practice Act
This bill amends the National Quantum Initiative Act to explicitly include "quantum molecular modeling or simulation" within the definition of quantum information science and as a specific research focus for federal programs. It directly affects the federal quantum research agenda by directing the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to prioritize this specific application area. The key change is adding "modeling, simulation" to the definition and creating a new research category (H) under the program, ensuring federal funding and coordination target this emerging field.
