Center For Quantum Science Research
Abstract
This project supports two extramural research consortiums, each of which will bring together a critical mass of preeminent university researchers to explore and develop critical emerging concepts in Quantum Information Science (QIS). Focus will be on two areas of QIS that are expected to provide disruptive impacts on Army Warfighter capabilities, and to perform collaborative research with Army in-house scientists and engineers to help accelerate the transition of the research. One focus area is the application of quantum simulations to provide previously unattainable capabilities to model and design high-performance materials crucial for the individual soldier and Army equipment. The second focus area is in achieving precision measurement using quantum sensing and imaging to provide leap-ahead imaging capabilities that would have been considered impossible using classical physics and current state of the art engineering. In addition to providing the required focused level of effort, the consortiums will also provide the broad unified multidisciplinary effort the field of QIS needs to accelerate progress, ranging from pure mathematics to engineering. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology focus areas, and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) in Adelphi, MD.
