Leadership

The Quantum Systems Accelerator is led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories is the lead partner of the center. It is one of five new Department of Energy Quantum Information Science (QIS) Research Centers.

The center brings together dozens of scientists who are pioneers of many of today’s quantum capabilities from 15 institutions: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, University of Colorado at Boulder, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Caltech, Duke University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tufts University, UC Berkeley, University of Maryland, University of New Mexico, University of Southern California, UT Austin, and Canada’s Université de Sherbrooke.

QSA’s team is dedicated to a mission of pairing advanced quantum prototypes — based on neutral atoms, trapped ions, and superconducting circuits — with algorithms specifically constructed for imperfect hardware to demonstrate optimal applications for each platform in scientific computing, materials science, and fundamental physics.
