Quantum in Practice Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Quantum in Practice Act
This bill includes quantum modeling and simulation within the definition of quantum information science for purposes of various federal research and development initiatives, programs, and activities.
Quantum information science refers to the use of the laws of quantum physics to store, transmit, manipulate, compute, or measure information, and quantum modeling and simulation refers to the use of quantum computing hardware to determine the properties of quantum systems (e.g., the properties of materials such as high-temperature superconductors and modeling nuclear and particle physics).
