Editor’s Note: The National Strategic Overview for Quantum Information Science is available here.
From: MeriTalk
A new “strategic overview” document published by the White House’s National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) says the U.S. government’s efforts to advance quantum information science (QIS) will “focus on a science-first approach that aims to identify and solve Grand Challenges: problems whose solutions enable transformative scientific and industrial progress.”
That focus, NSTC said, will feature a ten-year horizon and hoped-for breakthroughs in a range of fields including: computing applications; sensor technologies; positioning, navigation, and timing systems for military and commercial applications; “transformative cyber security systems including quantum-resistant cryptography in response to developments in QIS”; “novel algorithms for machine learning and optimization”; and “new approaches to understanding materials, chemistry, and even gravity through quantum information theory.”
