Congressional testimony today and why it is HUGE.
1. DARPA, DOE, NASA, Department of War are INVOLVED already.
2. Government visibility often precedes contracts like
$PLTR did.
3. Congress could have asked MIT/NIST/USGS, but they invited the CEO of a public company (Infleqtion).
4. This isn't saying "study quantum sensing." Instead, it says DEPLOY, USE & SURVEY, to integrate into USGS databases.
5. China dominates refining of many earth materials. The US government has spent years trying to reduce that dependence.
Earth MRI already exists as the USGS's national mapping initiative. H.R. 9646 would layer quantum sensing onto that effort by directing the USGS to use technologies such as quantum gravity gradiometry and integrate the results into existing Earth MRI databases. It fits directly into current national industrial policy. This is BIGGER than anyone thinks.
6. This is a Congressional legislative hearing & Infleqtion is the only industry witness SPECIFICALLY invited.
