Quantum Sandbox for Near-Term Applications Act of 2025

HR 3220 establishes a "quantum sandbox" program to accelerate near-term quantum technology applications. The bill requires the Commerce Secretary, working with NIST, to create a public-private partnership focused on developing and testing quantum computing, communication, and sensing solutions that can be deployed within 24 months. This program will engage industry groups, national labs, and research centers to break down barriers to accessing quantum hardware for practical uses. The goal is to deliver tangible benefits to U.S. businesses and consumers through faster innovation in quantum applications.
