                                 A BILL


 
   To direct the Secretary of the Army to establish an Army Quantum 
  Readiness and Advanced Computing Initiative, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Army Quantum Readiness Act''.

SEC. 2. ARMY QUANTUM READINESS AND ADVANCED COMPUTING INITIATIVE.

    (a) Establishment.--The Secretary of the Army shall establish an 
Army Quantum Readiness and Advanced Computing Initiative to prepare the 
Department of the Army for the integration of quantum computing, 
quantum-enabled technologies, and advanced computing capabilities into 
future operational, intelligence, logistics, and command-and-control 
missions.
    (b) Objectives.--The Initiative shall--
            (1) identify Army operational applications of quantum 
        computing, quantum sensing, quantum networking, and quantum-
        enabled artificial intelligence;
            (2) assess infrastructure requirements necessary to support 
        future quantum and advanced computing capabilities, including 
        power, cooling, networking, cybersecurity, and secure 
        facilities;
            (3) evaluate acquisition pathways capable of accelerating 
        the transition of quantum technologies from research and 
        development into operational use;
            (4) identify opportunities to leverage partnerships among 
        Army laboratories, academic institutions, federally funded 
        research and development centers, and private industry;
            (5) develop a workforce strategy to support future Army 
        quantum and advanced computing requirements; and
            (6) establish pilot projects to evaluate advanced computing 
        infrastructure supporting future quantum-enabled capabilities.
    (c) Quantum Readiness Demonstration Activities.--The Secretary may 
establish demonstration activities to evaluate--
            (1) advanced computing architectures supporting quantum 
        technologies;
            (2) quantum-enabled artificial intelligence applications;
            (3) post-quantum cybersecurity capabilities;
            (4) resilient and secure networking architectures; and
            (5) infrastructure necessary to support future Army quantum 
        capabilities.
    (d) Report.--Not later than 270 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Army shall submit to the 
congressional defense committees (as defined in section 101(a) of title 
10, United States Code) a report describing--
            (1) Army quantum readiness requirements;
            (2) recommended infrastructure investments;
            (3) workforce and educational requirements;
            (4) recommended pilot and demonstration activities; and
            (5) legislative or acquisition authorities necessary to 
        accelerate Army quantum readiness.
                                 <all>
