The workshop on quantum engineering infrastructure will bring together the nanomanufacturing and quantum engineering communities to develop short- and long-term solutions for supporting quantum research in the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI), a network of nanofabrication facilities at universities across the United States. The workshop presenters and attendees will be academic and industry leaders at the cross-over between quantum engineering and nanofabrication, and the presentations will provide overviews of the various aspects of quantum technology, as well as detailed information about the quantum capabilities of various NNCI nodes. This information will help to ensure the current facility infrastructure can best be used to enable new and ongoing projects. The workshop will also have a series of breakout sessions, where the participants will discuss the longer-term infrastructure needs of the network. The workshop outcomes will be compiled into a report that will be broadly distributed, which will enable follow-up activities on key action items developed in this three-day event. The learning developed in the workshop will have broad benefits to the NSF and NNCI communities, and to the broader national effort on establishing a leadership position in quantum research and technology.Quantum information systems are poised to change the way problems are solved in the coming decades. Similar to the computer revolution of the 20th century, quantum engineered systems offer the opportunity to access problems in the 21st century previously unattainable with conventional computing platforms. However, quantum technology is still in its infancy, and requires basic research, the kind that is supported by the NNCI network. Preparing this network for the quantum revolution is challenging, given the vastly different materials, processing, device and integration requirements compared to conventional microelectronics, and suggests a rethinking of the fabrication infrastructure that is needed. This challenge is even more acute given the fact that quantum engineered systems are based upon a diverse range of platforms including superconducting Josephson junctions, trapped ions, spin qubits using quantum dots, Majorana zero modes, color centers, and others. This workshop will seek to address the infrastructure issues in two ways. First, it will inform the community of quantum researchers that utilize NNCI facilities as to how their projects can be supported by the NNCI network. As a long-term goal, the workshop will help to inform a strategic vision for the future of quantum fabrication infrastructure, and how shared national resources can best be positioned to meet the needs of quantum engineered systems.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.

量子工程基础设施的研讨会将汇集纳米制造和量子工程社区，以开发短期和长期解决方案，以支持国家纳米技术协调基础设施（NNCI）的量子研究，这是美国大学纳米制造设施的网络。研讨会的演讲者和与会者将是量子工程和纳米制作之间交叉的学术和行业领导者，演讲将概述量子技术的各个方面，以及有关各种NNCI节点的量子功能的详细信息。该信息将有助于确保当前的设施基础架构最好用于启用新的和正在进行的项目。研讨会还将举办一系列突破性会议，参与者将讨论网络的长期基础架构需求。研讨会的成果将汇编成一份将广泛分发的报告，该报告将对在为期三天的活动中开发的关键动作项目进行后续活动。 在研讨会中开发的学习将对NSF和NNCI社区和建立量子研究和技术领域的领导地位更广泛的努力有很大的好处。QuantumInformation Systems有望改变未来几十年来解决问题的方式。与20世纪的计算机革命类似，量子工程系统为21世纪的问题提供了机会，以前是常规计算平台无法实现的。但是，量子技术仍处于起步阶段，并且需要基础研究，而NNCI网络支持了这种研究。鉴于与传统的微电子学相比，为量子革命准备该网络是具有挑战性的，并且建议对所需的制造基础架构进行重新思考。鉴于量子工程系统的基于多种平台，包括超过约瑟夫森连接，被困的离子，使用量子点，Majorana零模式，颜色中心等等的旋转Qubits，这一挑战更加严重。该研讨会将寻求通过两种方式解决基础设施问题。首先，它将告知社区的量子研究人员，这些研究人员利用NNCI设施如何得到NNCI网络如何支持其项目。作为一个长期目标，研讨会将有助于为量子制造基础设施的未来提供战略愿景，以及如何最好地定位共享的国家资源，以满足量子工程系统的需求。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并已被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和广泛的影响来评估Criteria的智力功能。
