The United State Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution introduced by U.S. Senators Todd Young (R-Ind.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), and Andy Kim (D-N.J.) to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the development of quantum mechanics.
The resolution recognizes the need to maintain America’s global leadership in quantum science and the societal benefits promised by the technology, while also highlighting the critical role that U.S. universities, laboratories, and private sector innovators play in advancing this cutting-edge field.
“Quantum mechanics is one of the most exciting frontiers in modern research, and for a century, it has driven transformative breakthroughs that power our economy and strengthen our national security. This resolution honors the legacy of American leadership in quantum mechanics—and reaffirms our commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation through continued investment in research, education, and collaboration,” said Senator Young.
“One hundred years ago, quantum mechanics transformed our understanding of the world and today, American innovation is carrying that legacy forward. From computing to secure communications, the United States is leading the world in quantum technology and Montana is playing a big role. I’m proud to lead this bipartisan resolution to celebrate a century of scientific achievement,” said Senator Daines.
“Over the course of 100 years, quantum mechanics has transformed from evolving theories into the kind of advancements and innovation that changes lives. From the research at Princeton to the work at the Stevens Institute right here in New Jersey, we continue to see this science helping shape our future – creating jobs and economic growth now while promising to look after our health, nation’s security, and more for years to come,” said Senator Kim.
In addition to Senators Young, Daines, and Kim, Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) also introduced the legislation.
