    SEC. 402. NATIONAL QUANTUM INFORMATION SCIENCE RESEARCH CENTERS.
    (a) Establishment.--
        (1) In general.--The Secretary of Energy, acting through the 
    Director of the Office of Science (referred to in this section as 
    the ``Director''), shall ensure that the Office of Science carries 
    out a program, in consultation with other Federal departments and 
    agencies, as appropriate, to establish and operate at least 2, but 
    not more than 5, National Quantum Information Science Research 
    Centers (referred to in this section as ``Centers'') to conduct 
    basic research to accelerate scientific breakthroughs in quantum 
    information science and technology and to support research 
    conducted under section 401.
        (2) Requirements.--
            (A) Competitive, merit-reviewed process.--The Centers shall 
        be established through a competitive, merit-reviewed process.
            (B) Applications.--An eligible applicant under this 
        subsection shall submit to the Director an application at such 
        time, in such manner, and containing such information as the 
        Director determines to be appropriate.
            (C) Eligible applicants.--The Director shall consider 
        applications from National Laboratories, institutions of higher 
        education, research centers, multi-institutional 
        collaborations, and any other entity that the Secretary of 
        Energy determines to be appropriate.
    (b) Collaborations.--A collaboration that receives an award under 
this section may include multiple types of research institutions and 
private sector entities.
    (c) Requirements.--To the maximum extent practicable, the Centers 
developed, constructed, operated, or maintained under this section 
shall serve the needs of the Department of Energy, industry, the 
academic community, and other relevant entities to create and develop 
processes for the purpose of advancing basic research in quantum 
information science and improving the competitiveness of the United 
States.
    (d) Coordination.--The Secretary of Energy shall ensure the 
coordination, and avoid unnecessary duplication, of the activities of 
each Center with the activities of--
        (1) other research entities of the Department of Energy, 
    including--
            (A) the Nanoscale Science Research Centers;
            (B) the Energy Frontier Research Centers;
            (C) the Energy Innovation Hubs; and
            (D) the National Laboratories;
        (2) institutions of higher education; and
        (3) industry.
    (e) Duration.--
        (1) In general.--Each Center established under this section is 
    authorized to carry out activities for a period of 5 years.
        (2) Reapplication.--An awardee may reapply for additional, 
    subsequent periods of 5 years. The Director shall approve or 
    disapprove of each reapplication on a competitive, merit-reviewed 
    basis.
        (3) Termination.--Consistent with the authorities of the 
    Department of Energy, the Secretary of Energy may terminate an 
    underperforming Center for cause during the performance period.
    (f) Funding.--The Secretary of Energy shall allocate up to 
$25,000,000 for each Center established under this section for each of 
fiscal years 2019 through 2023, subject to the availability of 
appropriations. Amounts made available to carry out this section shall 
be derived from amounts appropriated or otherwise made available to the 
Department of Energy.
