The exploitation of the inherent quantum nature of systems holds great promise in enabling quantum technologies that far surpass our current systems. There remain significant barriers to reaching this goal. In the area of quantum simulation and modeling, there is a need for new quantum platforms that go beyond our current few-qubit systems as well as the development of algorithms to efficiently use those platforms. Development in sensing that shows quantum advantage is just now becoming possible, opening up the possibility of quantum sensors that can be deployed outside of the laboratory. Systems using quantum entanglement have demonstrated quantum communication, but much work is needed on quantum repeaters and the range of wavelengths to make such systems commercially viable. This research in quantum information science forms the Quantum Leap NSF Big Idea.Understanding and controlling quantum systems is critical to achieving the next generation in quantum computing, sensing and communication. The National Quantum Initiative Act tasked the NSF to carry out a basic research and education effort in the area of quantum information science. As part of that effort, NSF has made a number of awards in quantum information science, including the funding of three Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes. In order to introduce these new institutes, highlight NSF efforts in this area and facilitate communication between researchers, NSF will hold a virtual grantees workshop in Fall of 2020. This award will enable that effort. The meeting will be held over two days, September 29-30, 2020. It is anticipated that there will be over 100 participants. There will be plenary talks introducing the Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes and parallel sessions by grantees in the area of quantum information science. These talks will range from quantum communication, sensing, computation, simulations as well as the development of new quantum platforms.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.

对系统固有的量子性质的开发在实现远远超过我们当前系统的量子技术方面具有巨大的希望。达到这一目标仍然存在重大障碍。在量子模拟和建模领域，需要新的量子平台，这些平台超出了我们当前的少量系统以及开发算法以有效地使用这些平台。传感中表明量子优势的发展刚刚成为可能，开辟了可以在实验室外部署的量子传感器的可能性。使用量子纠缠的系统显示了量子通信，但是在量子中继器和波长范围内需要进行大量工作，以使此类系统在商业上可行。量子信息科学中的这项研究形成了量子leap nsf的大思想。理解和控制量子系统对于实现量子计算，传感和通信中的下一代至关重要。 《国家量子倡议法》命令NSF在量子信息科学领域进行基础研究和教育工作。 作为这一努力的一部分，NSF在量子信息科学上获得了许多奖项，包括三个量子LEAP挑战机构的资金。为了介绍这些新机构，重点介绍了NSF在这一领域的努力并促进研究人员之间的沟通，NSF将在2020年秋天举行虚拟授予者研讨会。该奖项将实现这一努力。会议将在2020年9月29日至30日在两天内举行。预计将有100多名参与者。将会在量子信息科学领域介绍量子Leap挑战机构和平行会议的全体会谈。这些谈判的范围从量子通信，传感，计算，模拟以及新量子平台的开发。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来提供支持。
