Defense Quantum Acceleration Act of 2025

The Defense Quantum Acceleration Act of 2025 requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to accelerate the adoption of quantum information science technologies for military applications. It establishes a Principal Quantum Advisor to identify defense-specific quantum use cases, develop a 5-year strategic plan, and oversee transition from research to operations - prioritizing technologies at readiness level 5+ for rapid prototyping. The bill mandates a national quantum center ($20 million annually for 2025-2029), requires budget reviews for quantum activities, and strengthens U.S. and allied quantum supply chains. This directly affects DoD components, military branches, research labs, and defense contractors working on quantum sensing, computing, and communications for national security.
