Could go either way

The bill has support from both parties, which helps its chances. However, many bills that create study groups are often added to larger defense laws instead of passing by themselves.

Key Points

This bill creates a group of 11 experts to study quantum computing. This technology uses advanced science to solve problems much faster than today's most powerful computers.
The group will look at how the United States can stay ahead of other countries in this field. They will also study how these computers might be used in future wars and what ethical rules should be followed.
The commission will suggest ways to find and train more workers in science and math. This is meant to help the country build a stronger workforce for high tech jobs.
The Department of Defense will provide up to $10 million to pay for this work. The group must give its first report to Congress and the White House within six months of the bill becoming law.
