. Quantum Science and Quantum Computing Quantum science features radical concepts foreign to all other fields of science, such as the necessity of probabilities or that measurements can inherently affect a physical system.

In materials science, minimizing complex func tions, and potentially solving big data models more efficiently, without the high performance bandwidth that classical computing requires is what is really needed to move the discovery of new materials effectively forward. Researchers are experimenting with multiple physical platforms for quantum computing, and quantum computers made from different components may lend themselves to very different applications.

The group's goal is to create a quantum computing sys tem that can be used even by those without an understanding of how ion trapping works, similar to how anyone can use a smartphone even without knowing how it works. The IonQ team deliberately includes non-engineers and non-quantum experts; Monroe posited that this type of collaboration among many people with 1 FIGURE 2.2 Compact systems for trapped atomic ions.

NQI offers support to quantum technology-focused research centers that combine expertise from academic, government, and industry research laboratories working on quantum technology, with the overall goal of keeping the United States at the forefront of the quantum technology field. FUTURE QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES Jerry Chow, IBM Research, spoke of the challenges that quantum mechanics present, unresolved facets of quantum computing, and recent advancements within the broader quantum technology field -- in particular, quantum communication.

From page 10... ...
While the hardware makeup of a fault-tolerant quantum computer is unknown, it is unlikely to involve merely scaling up current technologies. Demonstrations using today's quantum computers largely replicate work that can be done with classical computing, but they lay the groundwork for a future in which quantum computing unlocks vast new computational opportunities.

From page 11... ...
Research with this technology has included studies of Rb atoms simulating magnetic phase transitions, trapped ions, and many-body dynamics,5,6 suggesting that quantum matter can be built once a better understanding of condensed matter physics and new materials emerges. Last, novel quantum materials, with directed goals and proper parameters, will be great enablers and influencers for all quantum technologies, not just quantum computing, Chow said.

From page 12... ...
Clearly, there remain multiple key challenges for quantum computation and communication that will require the work of the entire quantum community to overcome. Closing, Chow urged the community to continue to tackle long-term problems with an eye toward the distant horizon, to convene workshops to dis cuss future applications, and to create enabling technologies, not only to advance quantum research but also to maintain the position of the United States as a global technology leader.
