From page 13...
... The work in quantum information science is focused on the investigation of fundamental mathematical questions in quantum computing and communications related to areas such as communications, cryptography, cybersecurity, randomness, clocks, and sensors. Some of this work is conducted through the NIST/University of Maryland Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science, which is a multidisciplinary collaboration involving computer scientists and physicists at both institutions.
