项目摘要

The classical computers in our laptops, smart phones, and cars, together with those in large supercomputing facilities, have completely revolutionized modern life. The quantum computer, which harnesses the quantum-mechanical behavior of physical systems to gain a revolutionary advantage over existing computer technologies, will have greater computational power than any conceivable classical computer and an inestimable impact, not only on all manners of scientific research, but also in every type of human activity. Motivated by this potential impact, several large-scale efforts have been pursued by industry, national laboratories, and others to bring about the quantum computer. The Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Present and Future Quantum Computation engages the academic community to support these large-scale efforts by addressing fundamental obstacles that all of them face. Additionally, the Institute provides education and workforce development at several levels -- a Master's program, online courses for everybody ranging from high-school students to trained professionals, programs to boost the involvement of computer science and mathematics faculties in quantum computing, and other activities -- in order to build the quantum-smart workforce that the Nation will need. The Institute has a large footprint within several campuses of the University of California and will leverage their breadth and diversity to bring a large and diverse pool of talent into quantum information science and technology.The overall goal of the Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Present and Future Quantum Computation is to help bring about the quantum computer. The realization of large-scale quantum computation is the central scientific challenge of our times. Several fundamental obstacles stand in the way of the practical quantum computer, including the development of algorithms that utilize quantum computers to reduce the complexity of generic computational tasks, the use of the smaller-scale quantum technologies available at present and in the near future for specialized computational tasks, and the scaling-up of quantum technologies without degrading the high fidelity and modularity needed for large-scale quantum computing. To address these challenges, the Institute mobilizes an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers that includes experts in physics, computer science, chemistry, mathematics, electrical engineering, and materials research. Theoretical research on quantum algorithms for present and future quantum computing technologies will be motivated and tested by the experimental development of atomic, molecular, and optics-based quantum computing testbeds. The Institute will also promote the development of quantum science and technology nationwide through extensive education and workforce development programs; research coordination and partnership activities that draw together stakeholders from academia, industry, government laboratories, and other consortia; and influential engagement with the computer and mathematical sciences communities through the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing and the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics.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.

我们的笔记本电脑、智能手机和汽车中的经典计算机，以及大型超级计算设施中的计算机，已经彻底改变了现代生活。量子计算机利用物理系统的量子力学行为来获得比现有计算机技术更大的革命性优势，将具有比任何可以想象的经典计算机更大的计算能力，不仅对各种科学研究方式，而且对各种人类活动都有不可估量的影响。在这种潜在影响的推动下，工业界、国家实验室和其他机构已经进行了几次大规模的努力，以实现量子计算机。量子跳跃挑战研究所现在和未来的量子计算参与学术界，通过解决所有人面临的基本障碍来支持这些大规模的努力。此外，该研究所还提供多个层次的教育和劳动力发展-硕士课程，从高中生到训练有素的专业人员的在线课程，促进计算机科学和数学系参与量子计算的计划以及其他活动-为了建立国家需要的量子智能劳动力。该研究所在加州大学的几个校区内有很大的足迹，并将利用其广度和多样性，为量子信息科学和技术带来大量和多样化的人才库。量子飞跃挑战研究所的总体目标是帮助实现量子计算机。实现大规模量子计算是我们这个时代的核心科学挑战。几个基本障碍阻碍了实用量子计算机的发展，包括开发利用量子计算机来降低通用计算任务复杂性的算法，使用目前和不久的将来可用的小规模量子技术进行专门的计算任务，以及在不降低大规模量子计算所需的高保真度和模块化的情况下扩大量子技术。为了应对这些挑战，该研究所动员了一个跨学科的科学家和工程师团队，其中包括物理学，计算机科学，化学，数学，电气工程和材料研究方面的专家。目前和未来量子计算技术的量子算法的理论研究将受到原子，分子和基于光学的量子计算测试平台的实验开发的激励和测试。该研究所还将通过广泛的教育和劳动力发展计划促进全国量子科学和技术的发展;研究协调和合作活动，吸引来自学术界，工业界，政府实验室和其他财团的利益相关者;通过西蒙斯计算理论研究所和纯粹与数学研究所，应用数学。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是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的支持。
