Emerging Opportunities in Math and Computer Sciences
Abstract
The grounds for strategic surprise are often realized through the discovery of unifying principles, novel fundamental limits, and unexpected connections between nominally disparate fields. This thrust explores emergent capabilities and universal themes at the interface of quantum science, mathematics, nanoscience, and materials science to develop novel approaches to critical national security needs. Emerging opportunities in this thrust will explore and analyze new scientific and technological ideas, seeking answers to high-risk/high-reward what if? questions, and assess the impact of further investment on problems of importance to national security. Understanding the complex interplay between DoD systems and their environment is critical in developing new platforms and in determining the limitations of current platforms. Current mathematical tools cannot capture the nonlinear, multiscale, high dimensional dynamics of the coupled/multiscale physics that describe these complex physical systems.
