Q-NEXT, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Quantum Information Science Research Center, has created a roadmap for quantum interconnects research and its impact for quantum information science and technology. Q-NEXT members and participants are from academia, industry, and DOE national laboratories. The roadmap addresses the role of quantum interconnects in three emerging areas of quantum information: computing, communication, and sensing. The roadmap reviews the materials, components and systems used for these purposes; summarizes relevant scientific questions and issues; and addresses the most pressing research needs. It distills these considerations into recommendations for strategic science and technology research imperatives for the next decade. In addition to informing Q-NEXT’s internal activities, the roadmap has also been created with a broader objective of developing a guide for key issues and research needed over the next decade for the worldwide scientific and engineering community interested in quantum information…read more.
