What are the risks to our economy and national security if we aren't the leaders in this research, and in particular, in quantum information science?

This is not, this is not a path towards any sort of technological breakthroughs or quantum leaps.

Good morning, and I think if Bill Gates is intimidated by this topic, the rest of us mere mortals are very indebted to our expert witnesses today.

Sadly, as we have come to expect with every hearing this Committee holds highlighting an important area of research, you can trust that the Trump Administration has proposed making cuts.

While the Trump Administration also proposed cuts to these centers, I hope and expect my colleagues in Congress will continue to voice our strong support for researchers and their vital work.

I look forward to the hearing.

So stapling the green card to the degree might be helpful.

The topic of this morning's hearing, 'American Leadership in Quantum Technology,' is important to our national security, global competitiveness and technological innovation.

NIST must learn from its past and do its best to ensure proper security is implemented.

NIST promotes U.S. innovation and competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology.

Lack of security at NIST facilities is a direct, serious threat to the safety and well-being of thousands of federal workers.
