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.

对系统固有的量子本质的开发，在使量子技术远远超过我们目前的系统方面，有着巨大的希望。实现这一目标仍然存在重大障碍。在量子模拟和建模领域，需要超越我们目前的几个量子比特系统的新的量子平台，以及高效使用这些平台的算法的开发。传感器方面的发展表明量子优势刚刚成为可能，这为可以部署在实验室之外的量子传感器打开了可能性。使用量子纠缠的系统已经展示了量子通信，但要使这种系统在商业上可行，还需要在量子中继器和波长范围上做很多工作。量子信息科学的研究形成了量子飞跃NSF大理想。了解和控制量子系统是实现量子计算、传感和通信的下一代的关键。国家量子倡议法案要求美国国家科学基金会在量子信息科学领域开展基础研究和教育工作。作为这一努力的一部分，NSF在量子信息科学方面获得了许多奖项，包括资助三个量子飞跃挑战研究所。为了介绍这些新的研究所，突出NSF在这一领域的努力，并促进研究人员之间的交流，NSF将在2020年秋季举办一个虚拟受赠者研讨会。这一奖项将使这一努力成为可能。会议将于2020年9月29日至30日举行，为期两天。预计将有100多人参加。将举行全体会议，介绍量子飞跃挑战研究所，并由获得资助者在量子信息科学领域举行平行会议。这些讲座将涉及量子通信、传感、计算、模拟以及新量子平台的开发。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
