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.

量子信息科学(QIS)是研究如何使用符合量子力学定律的系统来执行信息处理任务的跨学科领域。该研究项目为新墨西哥大学(UNM)的量子信息与控制中心(CQuIC)建立并提供核心资金，该中心是亚利桑那大学(UA)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的研究将量子信息系统的新想法和技术应用于控制量子系统行为的最先进的实验室任务，因此这些系统可以制造出做科学家希望他们做的事情，而不是只做自然产生的事情，并进行高精度的测量。CQuIC专门培训研究生和博士后研究员从事QIS的研究工作。联尼特派团和加州大学的学生可以接触到各种课程和其他活动，这些课程和活动提供了信息理论和物理观点的跨学科整合。CQuIC与四个外部机构合作，即马里兰大学的联合量子研究所、昆士兰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和合作机构可用的理论和实验能力。CQuIC是西南量子信息与技术网络(Squint)的管理中心，该网络主要在美国西南部的大约20个机构促进QIS研究。
