This is a proposal to support the participation of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at aworkshop at Michigan State University in Quantum Information Science (QIS). The workshop will be held on the campus of MSU at the Kellogg Conference Center from October 1-3, 2018. The field of quantum information science (QIS) is in a nascent state with several academic, industrial and government groups striving to understand the basic physics, and to build and control many-qubit systems. QIS is approaching a tipping point where the realization of practical quantum computing systems is imminent. Considering this a workshop at Michigan State University will be held to bring together a broad community of researchers working on QIS to discuss the near future of the field, including the physical implementations of quantum computers, the most interesting open questions in the field, and the challenging fundamental and applied problems of quantum science.A primary goal of the meeting is for the scientific program is the exploration of the ideas and open questions in the field of QIS. The workshop will provide a venue where these ideas and questions will be discussed as intellectual leaders in the field come together to present new results and discuss how to navigate the scientific and technological landscape of the field as it develops. The broader impacts include scientific, application-oriented, and educational/outreach components. Researcher from both inside and outside of academia will be attending the conference. The inclusion of participants from outside of academia will provide an opportunity to student and postdoctoral attendees to learn about the quantum research and technology development going on at companies and industry labs such as Google, IBM, and MITRE. In this sense the workshop will provide an excellent complement to the cross-disciplinary training of a diverse group of graduate, undergraduate, and postdoctoral students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这是一项支持研究生和博士后研究人员参加密歇根州立大学量子信息科学（QIS）研讨会的建议。 该研讨会将于2018年10月1日至3日在密歇根州立大学校园的凯洛格会议中心举行。量子信息科学（QIS）领域处于新生状态，有几个学术，工业和政府团体正在努力理解基础物理学，并建立和控制多量子比特系统。QIS正在接近一个临界点，实现实用的量子计算系统迫在眉睫。考虑到这一点，密歇根州立大学将举办一个研讨会，汇集一个广泛的QIS研究人员社区，讨论该领域的不久的将来，包括量子计算机的物理实现，该领域最有趣的开放问题，以及量子科学的具有挑战性的基础和应用问题。会议的一个主要目标是科学计划是探索以及QIS领域的开放性问题。该研讨会将提供一个场所，讨论这些想法和问题，因为该领域的知识领袖聚集在一起，提出新的成果，并讨论如何在该领域的科学和技术景观中导航。更广泛的影响包括科学、面向应用和教育/外联部分。来自学术界内外的研究人员将出席会议。 来自学术界以外的参与者将为学生和博士后与会者提供一个机会，了解谷歌、IBM和MITRE等公司和行业实验室正在进行的量子研究和技术开发。从这个意义上讲，该研讨会将为研究生、本科生和博士后学生的跨学科培训提供一个很好的补充。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
