Center for Quantum Information and Control

量子信息科学（QIS）是研究如何使用遵守量子力学定律的系统来执行信息处理任务的交叉学科。 该研究项目建立并提供了一个新的中心，量子信息和控制中心（CQuIC）的核心资金，总部设在新墨西哥州（UNM）的大学，在亚利桑那大学（UA）的实验研究的主要组成部分。 CQuIC为基于物理的研究带来了量子信息的视角。特别是，CQuIC内部的研究将QIS的新思想和技术应用于控制量子系统行为的最先进的实验室任务，因此这些系统可以按照科学家的要求去做，而不是做自然发生的事情，CQuIC专注于QIS研究生和博士后研究员的培训。 学生在联合国大学和联合国大学接触到一个全面的课程和其他活动，这提供了一个跨学科的整合信息理论和物理学的观点。 CQuIC与四个外部机构合作，即马里兰州大学的联合量子研究所、昆士兰州大学的量子信息和量子纳米科学小组、桑迪亚国家实验室和洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室。 这些伙伴关系侧重于思想和人员的双向流动，从而扩大了CQuIC和合作机构的理论和实验能力。 CQuIC是西南量子信息和技术（SQuInT）网络的行政总部，该网络主要在美国西南部的大约20个机构中促进QIS研究。

Quantum information science (QIS) is the interdisciplinary field thatinvestigates how to use systems obeying the laws of quantum mechanicsto perform information-processing tasks. This research projectestablishes and provides the core funding for a new center, theCenter for Quantum Information and Control (CQuIC), based at theUniversity of New Mexico (UNM), with a major component ofexperimental research at the University of Arizona (UA). CQuICbrings a quantum-information perspective to physics-based research.In particular, research within CQuIC applies the new ideas andtechniques of QIS to the state-of-the-art laboratory tasks ofcontrolling the behavior of quantum systems, so these systems can bemade to do what scientists want them to do, instead of doing justwhat comes naturally, and of making high-precision measurements.CQuIC specializes in the training of graduate students andpostdoctoral fellows for research careers in QIS. Students at UNMand UA are exposed to a full range of courses and other activities,which provide an interdisciplinary integration ofinformation-theoretic and physics perspectives. CQuIC partners withfour external institutions, the Joint Quantum Institute at theUniversity of Maryland, the quantum information and quantumnanoscience groups at the University of Queensland, Sandia NationalLaboratory, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. These partnershipsfocus on a two-way flow of ideas and people, thus expanding thetheoretical and experimental capabilities available to CQuIC and thepartnering institutions. CQuIC is the administrative home for theSouthwest Quantum Information and Technology (SQuInT) Network, whichpromotes QIS research at about 20 institutions located mainly in theUS Southwest.
