"we want china to do well" - economically

How Global Enterprises are Getting Ready for Quantum Advantage ( and Role of Govt in that Journey)

Aparna Prabhakar -

  • government, derisk, and innovation

Clena Abuan -

  • regulation
  • From McKinsey - when investments start to dip, government is hugely beneficial when private sector starts to get distracted.
  • Be part of the conversation

Zachary Dutton

  • For all of the use-cases, we make sure that we have a business sponsor
  • none of that matters if you don't have an executive sponsor
    • particularly important for quantum
    • 2 kinds of people
      • complete advocates
        • believe it can do so many things
        • thinks it solves every problem
      • complete science fiction
        • hardly believe it will be anything
    • the only way to protect against that is to have an anchor that will pull against the wall

Philip

  • Quantum sensing - near-term and get people to believe in quantum technology
  • quantum computing is still a ways off
  • but need to get people to believing in
  • Roadmaps

Q-Alchemy - the art of turning data into Quantum

WHY THERE NEEDS TO BE A QUANTUM APOLLO PROGRAM

By Bob Sutor

There needs to be a quantum leader that steps up. Be it Linux Torvalds or the like. We commit to doing this.

In 8 years from that, there was the spac program and man on the moon.

Three phases to the moon. - e

  • first phase - Mercury

    • First American suborbital flight
    • started with redstrones
    • 1958-1963
    • we propose to accelerate the development of the appropriate lunar space craft
  • First American orbital flight

  • American "Lunar Supremacy"

  • second phase - Gemini

    • they had to figure out the space craft
    • have to line it up perfectly
    • how to start knocking off the options
      • to how these options exist and we hav to start figuring out which work better and which dont
  • Apollo - first lunar orbits

    • Practical Lunar advantage - 1968
  • very political time - stopped going to space for quite q while

We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy but because they are hard.

Practical Quantum advantage will occur when quantum and classical systems work together and perform s

  • we can't say that at this point there is a winners
  • modularity
  • transduction
  • quantum networking - one or more qubits and I want to move it over there
    • the distance can be a few inches or a few miles
    • if this doeesn't happen, any quantum computer that isn't able to network is dead in the water
  • critical technologis for scaling
    • requires public and private investment
  • scaling to hundreds to thousands of logical qubits
  • discovery andinvention of new modalitiees

Quantum Computing Phase 3 (maybe 2030)

Practical Quantum Advantage - that can help on the

if you're a vendor you pull it in, if you're not a vendor you push it out.

If I run an iphone

Full dominance ofuniversal quantum computing programming models.

New approaches to chemistry, physical simulation, QML, and optimization.

nISQ approached will be abandoned in the next decade.

Breaking encryption (maybe)


What do wee need to do better?

Commit to top-down, long-term, coordinated leadership fundd by privatee and public investment with focused academic research

  • build commrical quantum prime companies willin to subcontract to partner with, or acquire necssary componnt and supply chain companies

    • you will begin to see name brands just investing in quantum
  • invest sufficintly in technologies in 2,,6 ..years. avoiding duplicative investment in technologies and companies unlikely to survive in the long run

one quantum computer that can solve ea particular set of probleems - that's it and back up from therw.

Examplee start but neeeds work

  • proposed U.S. Dfns Quantum Acceleration Act of 2024
  • principle quantum advisor
  • we must stop investing in overly duplicative first phas technologies and greatly increasee it for critical second phase modularity

Womanium Quantum Solutions

  • you can only go as far as you aim - Prachi
  • the only thing that you can do is potentially contract work

Advancing

Gary Jones - PhD Professors at two universities - Patent

Dr. Geetha Senthi

  • 95% of diseases are not addressed in the NIH

  • we hope emerging technologies likee quantum can address these technologies

  • Trans-NIH Working Group

  • working closely with NIST

  • quantum sensing NIH sbir grant

  • research and training grants from NIH

  • hope and promise presentation

Gary Jones

  • cyber security applications CZA
  • CRQC - viewing it as a nuclear weapon
  • harvested a lot of data now and can decrypt it
  • reporting -
    • no one knows when it's supposed to come
    • they think 2030
    • don't want to get caught on the 8ball on this
    • PQC requirements
  • Automated tooling to get information from each agency
  • Reporting Flow Diagram
    • cyberscope
    • acdi tool development and integration
  • looking at integrating zero-trust - and funding for quantum
  • notional timeline to achieve the strategy

Questions -

  1. To There are many vendors and are you willing for them to come to you
  • Vendors interested in reaching out in cybersecurity,
  • vendor engagement team at CZA
  • willing to help and able to help
  1. To NIH - Are you willing to work with DARPA?

ScaN - space, communications, and networking

  • quantum plays a huge role for SCaN's future
  • building a huge optical network to test what it can and can't do in space
  • quantum communication is seen as the next step from optical
  • planning at this stage is an academic exercise
  • quantum sensing came up at the top of the list
  • climate, o
  • NASA, DoE, NSF, and NIS - national quantum initiative
  • quantum AI is a veerey decisivee role

What advice would you give for insutries that hva to go through similar rpearations?

  • take inventory first
  • question how long the lifecycle of this can be expected for
  • attend the NIH quantum -

Is panel excited about quantum computing, sensing, and quantum communications?
