The resolution promotes U.S. leadership, workforce development, and economic opportunity in quantum technologies while risking higher federal spending and reduced public transparency as research becomes more security-focused.
Scientists, researchers, and U.S. technology workers: increases recognition and potential support for quantum research, reinforcing U.S. leadership in quantum science and accelerating development that can create high-quality jobs and economic growth.
Students and prospective STEM workers: public education and centennial activities in 2025 are likely to inspire interest in STEM fields and help recruit the next generation of quantum-savvy workers.
Taxpayers: findings and emphasis on quantum research could justify increased federal research spending, raising taxpayer costs or leading to reallocation of funds from other programs.
State and public stakeholders: stressing the strategic and national-security value of quantum technologies may accelerate classified programs and reduce public transparency about research priorities and uses.
