Representatives from industry joined physicists to present software and share ideas about the future of quantum science and technology.
From Daily Herald, Oct. 9, 2018: The U.S. Department of Energy has announced that it has awarded scientists at its Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory more than $10 million to spur research that could revolutionize not only our understanding of nature, but also the very way we investigate it.
Their efforts apply research from multiple disciplines to hunt for dark matter – in particular, the much sought-after axion.
The federal grants will support University of Chicago, Argonne and Fermilab in their explorations of quantum computing, dark matter, and imaging.
Quantum science is expected to lay the foundation for the next generation of computing and information processing as well as an array of other innovative technologies.
High-energy physicists and members of industry will meet face-to-face to brainstorm ideas and participate in the field’s first hands-on quantum computing workshop.
