Tackling Tough Questions

  • What quantum advantage do we expect from imperfect, small-scale quantum hardware?
  • How do we build different programmable quantum systems and for what applications are they naturally suited? 
  • Into what future architectures should we invest in order to achieve universal computation?

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.

QSA-FUNDED RESEARCH

By using two-dimensional arrays of individually focused laser beams called optical tweezers, researchers can arrange images of forty-two atoms to spell out QSA. (Credit: Tout Wang, Lukin Group/Harvard University)
