The Alabama Legislature has established the Alabama Quantum Evaluation Task Force to assess the economic impacts of quantum computing on the state. This initiative recognizes the potential of quantum computing to revolutionize various industries by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics for advanced problem-solving. The task force will consist of a diverse group of members, including state officials, legislators, and representatives from both public and private sectors, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of quantum computing's applications across multiple fields such as agriculture, healthcare, and workforce development.

The task force is tasked with studying the use and economic implications of quantum computing, identifying opportunities for public-private partnerships, and developing a 10-year plan for quantum computing development in Alabama. They are required to meet at least three times before submitting a report of their findings and recommendations to key state leaders by the fifth legislative day of the 2026 Regular Session. The task force will be supported by various state departments and will dissolve after fulfilling its duties, ensuring that the state is well-prepared to harness the benefits of quantum technology.
