Quantum information systems have the potential to profoundly change the way computational problems are solved in the coming decades. However, quantum technology remains in its early stages of development, and requires the support of fundamental research. Such support is highly dependent upon programs such as the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI), an NSF-funded network of academic nanofabrication and characterization sites and their partners, which is an essential and enabling component of the emerging research field and industry in quantum engineering. The Workshop on Quantum Engineering Infrastructure II (WQEI 2) has three main goals: (1) to review the outcomes from the first Workshop on Quantum Engineering Infrastructure (WQEI 1), which was held in 2021 with support from the National Science Foundation, and evaluate progress toward its recommendations; (2) to understand how new developments in quantum computing have altered the needs and best practices for quantum fabrication infrastructure; and (3) to provide recommendations for how fabrication facilities in the US can best be utilized to meet the ongoing and emergent needs of quantum engineered systems. Workshop attendees will identify technological trends, significant gaps in our existing technical capabilities, solutions that align the needs of the various stakeholders, as well as the value of shared (open access) and geographically-distributed infrastructure, and how the coordination of that infrastructure advances national capabilities in emerging industries and helps to create opportunities everywhere, i.e., support Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs) and reach the "Missing Millions". The outcome of the workshop will be a public-facing outcomes report recommending a path forward.The Workshop on Quantum Engineering Infrastructure II will bring together the quantum engineering and nanomanufacturing communities to develop short- and long-term solutions for supporting quantum research within the national network of nanofabrication facilities. 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. This information will help to ensure the envisioned future facility infrastructure can best be used to enable ongoing and envisioned future projects. The workshop will have targeted overview talks on specific quantum technology platforms, followed by panels sessions, where the participants will engage in open discussion on progress in developing quantum infrastructure and the outstanding challenges to meet longer-term needs. The workshop outcomes will be compiled into a report that will be broadly distributed, which will enable continued follow-up activities on action items from this focused one-day event. The learning developed in the workshop will benefit both the quantum and nanofabrication communities, as well as the broader national effort on establishing a leadership position in quantum hardware.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.

量子信息系统有可能深刻地改变未来几十年来解决计算问题的方式。但是，量子技术仍处于发展的早期阶段，需要支持基础研究。这种支持高度依赖于国家纳米技术协调基础设施（NNCI）等计划，这是NSF资助的学术纳米制作和表征站点及其合作伙伴等网络，这是量子工程中新兴研究领域和行业的重要组成部分。量子工程基础设施II（WQEI 2）的研讨会具有三个主要目标：（1）回顾量子工程基础设施第一个研讨会（WQEI 1）的成果，在2021年在国家科学基金会的支持下于2021年举行，并评估其建议的进度； （2）了解量子计算的新发展如何改变了量子制造基础设施的需求和最佳实践； （3）为如何最好地利用如何利用美国制造设施来满足量子工程系统的持续和新兴需求。 Workshop attendees will identify technological trends, significant gaps in our existing technical capabilities, solutions that align the needs of the various stakeholders, as well as the value of shared (open access) and geographically-distributed infrastructure, and how the coordination of that infrastructure advances national capabilities in emerging industries and helps to create opportunities everywhere, i.e., support Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs) and reach the "Missing数百万”。研讨会的结果将是一份面向公众的成果报告，建议有前进的路线。量子工程基础设施II的研讨会将汇集量子工程和纳米制造社区，以开发短期和长期解决方案，以支持纳米制造设施的国家网络中的量子研究。研讨会的主持人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。这些信息将有助于确保最好使用所设想的未来设施基础设施来实现正在进行的和设想的未来项目。该研讨会将针对有关特定量子技术平台的概述对话，然后是小组会议，参与者将在开放量子基础设施方面进行开放讨论，以及满足长期需求的杰出挑战。研讨会的成果将汇编成一份报告，该报告将广泛分发，这将在此重点的一日活动中继续对行动项目进行后续活动。在研讨会中开发的学习将使量子和纳米制作社区受益，以及在量子硬件中建立领导地位的更广泛的国家努力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
