Quantum National Security Coordination and Competition Act of 2025

This bill establishes the Department of Defense Office of Quantum Capabilities and Competition to lead all DoD quantum efforts, including research, development, and application of quantum sensing, computing, and communications technologies. It requires the Office to coordinate with other federal agencies on quantum work and mandates annual reports to Congress (starting one year after enactment) detailing U.S. quantum capabilities, comparisons with adversaries like China and Russia, and a 3- and 10-year plan to compete in national security quantum technology. The reports must include classified assessments of foreign quantum capabilities and specific strategies to close gaps and outpace competitors, particularly in quantum communications. The bill directly affects the Department of Defense and its coordination with other national security agencies.
