While quantum papers may include use of nanotechnology facilities in doing the experiments, the study's statement of task is on the NNI, so further analysis on quantum and other technologies that exceeds that committee's work in Chapter 3 is beyond the scope of the study. For example, the United States now lags other countries in high-impact paper publications as well as nanotechnology patents (see Figures 1-5, 2-1, and 2-3) Read the entire page →
