Quantum Benchmark Act mandates policy for validating and verifying quantum computing systems for the Department of Defense.
The Quantum Benchmark Act requires the Secretary of Defense to establish a policy for the development and acquisition of quantum computing systems. This policy must include a definition of "quantum computing system" and ensure systems are validated and verified before development or acquisition. The Secretary may issue waivers for specific systems, but must notify congressional defense committees with justification. The policy must align with findings and processes of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative.
