The Quantum Information Science (QIS) program supports basic and applied research. The QIS program focuses on developing underlying science and technology for the application of quantum systems to information process tasks that include computing, communication and simulation.
Research Concentration Areas
- Atomic, photonic, phononic and magnonic devices for high performance quantum information processing
- Generation, characterization and utilization of quantum entanglement
- Quantum-based techniques for solving hard problems or simulating complex systems that outperform all classically known approaches
- Use cases for distributed entanglement in a quantum network of sensors and/or processors
Research Challenges and Opportunities
- Innovative protocols for the preparation, readout, characterization and utilization of quantum correlated states for improved quantum information processing
- Novel approaches to quantum simulation of complex, correlated quantum systems and quantum algorithms for finding approximate solutions to hard problems with naval relevance (e.g., large logistics problems) that may outperform all known classical techniques
- Protocols for efficient quantum error correction
- Development and demonstration of useful applications of quantum networks distributing entanglement that have the potential to enable new capabilities for the Department of the Navy
