Assessing Performance of Quantum Computers (APQC)

APQC研讨会将帮助定义量子性能评估，这是一个新兴的研究领域，旨在回答首要问题“我们如何评估，探测，测量，量化和报告量子计算设备的质量或性能？".来自物理学，计算机科学和量子信息的不同子领域的专家将讨论量子断层扫描，基准测试，算法，编译，硬件设计，计算复杂性，纠错和实验物理学的各个方面。APQC科学计划将包括量子性能评估的四个感兴趣领域的会谈：（i）量子表征，验证和验证，（ii）量子算法，（iii）量子纠错，（iv）量子“至高无上”。参与者将分享最佳实践，确定知识差距，并加强跨学科合作，以解决量子性能评估中的挑战性问题。该项目推进了未来NSF投资的10大理念中的两个目标：“量子飞跃”和“NSF的增长融合研究”。这10个大的想法将推动美国研究的前沿，提供创新的方法来解决世界面临的一些最紧迫的问题，以及导致尚未知道的发现。该项目还推进了国家量子计划（NQI）的目标，该计划是一个协调的多机构计划，旨在支持量子信息科学（QIS）的研究和培训。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The APQC workshop will help define Quantum Performance Assessment, an emerging research field that seeks answers to the overarching question "How do we assess, probe, measure, quantify, and report the quality or performance of quantum computational devices?". Experts from diverse subfields of physics, computer science, and quantum information will discuss aspects of quantum tomography, benchmarking, algorithms, compilation, hardware design, computational complexity, error correction, and experimental physics. The APQC scientific program will include talks in four areas of interest to quantum performance assessment: (i) Quantum characterization, verification, and validation, (ii) Quantum algorithms, (iii) Quantum error correction, (iv) Quantum "supremacy". Participants will share best practices, identify gaps in knowledge, and nucleate interdisciplinary collaborations to address challenge problems in quantum performance assessment.This project advances the objectives of two of 10 Big Ideas for Future NSF Investments: "Quantum Leap" and "Growing Convergent Research at NSF". The 10 big ideas will push forward the frontiers of U.S. research, provide innovative approaches to solve some of the most pressing problems the world faces, as well as lead to discoveries not yet known. This project also advances objectives of the National Quantum Initiative (NQI), a coordinated multiagency program to support research and training in Quantum Information Science (QIS).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.
