2023 Impact Report
In its third year of operations, QSA releases the latest R&D and ecosystem updates.
2023 Virtual Career Fair
The third Quantum Information Science Career Fair hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science’s National QIS Research Centers will be conducted on September 13.
Our Missions
Harnessing Quantum
Quantum mechanics predicts that matter can be correlated to a degree which is not naturally observed in nature. QSA will address how this complexity can be transformed into an engineering resource.
Programming Quantum
QSA will establish the precision tools to control naturally occurring atomic qubits and better engineered superconducting qubits for existing classical controls.
Engineering Quantum
QSA will nucleate a new branch of engineering, establish metrics, benchmarks, and technology roadmaps to guide industry and bring quantum from the laboratory to the factory.
Engaging Quantum
QSA will establish a stable platform for cooperative research and a launchpad for young and mid-career scientists and engineers.
