If enacted, the legislation would direct the U.S. Geological Survey to use advanced quantum sensing capabilities, including quantum gravity gradiometry to survey priority critical-mineral areas on or near federal lands, integrate the results into existing Earth Mapping Initiative (Earth MRI) databases and report the findings to Congress.<\/p> \n\u201cAs the United States works to strengthen domestic supply chains and reduce reliance on foreign sources of critical minerals and rare-earth elements, the need for better information has never been greater,\u201d said Matt Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion. \u201cRepresentative Hurd\u2019s legislation recognizes a simple but important truth: smarter, faster and more responsible resource development begins with understanding what lies beneath the surface. Quantum sensing technologies can provide that insight, helping reduce uncertainty, guide investment and support more informed decisions before exploration begins.\u201d<\/p> \nBy leveraging quantum-enhanced mapping techniques, The Quantum-Enhanced Critical Minerals Mapping Act of 2026 aims to strengthen domestic supply chains, support resource development, and bolster U.S. economic and national security interests. The bill could also reduce speculative drilling through better subsurface intelligence and shrink the environmental footprint of exploration by narrowing uncertainty and lowering drilling costs.<\/p> \n\u201cThe time to deploy these capabilities is now if we want to accelerate American resource security while maintaining a responsible approach to development,\u201d added Kinsella.<\/p> \nInfleqtion\u2019s quantum technologies are already supporting operational programs across national security, energy and scientific research, including DARPA, the U.S. Department of Energy, NASA and the U.S. Department of War.<\/p> \nAbout Infleqtion\n \nForward looking statements\n \nInvestor Contact<\/b>
