Quantum Technology Research to Boost Electric Grid Security and Reliability.
This law mandates the Department of Energy to conduct research into using quantum technologies, such as quantum computing, to enhance the reliability and security of the national electric grid. The goal is to improve fault detection, optimize grid operations, and protect infrastructure against cyber threats. Citizens benefit from these investments through fewer power outages and a more stable energy supply.
Key points
Investments in quantum technology research aim to increase the electric grid's resilience against failures and attacks.
Research areas include fault detection, cybersecurity (post-quantum cryptography), and energy storage optimization.
The Department of Energy will cooperate with national laboratories and universities to rapidly implement new solutions.
