In 2018, President Donald Trump signed into law the National Quantum Initiative (NQI), which set aside $1.2 billion to advance quantum technology and information science.

Almost six years later, the NQI reauthorization bill, which will extend federal support for this technology that promises to transform economic and national security, awaits approval by Congress and the president.

Join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow and Director of the Quantum Alliance Initiative Arthur Herman and a panel of leading experts for a discussion on why NQI reauthorization matters to government, industry, and the economy—as well as the important changes that will come with the reauthorization process.
