Goals

  • Develop quantum algorithms for data analysis in high energy physics.[2]
  • Create quantum sensors for enhanced detection in particle physics experiments.
  • Explore quantum computing for simulations that are intractable for classical computers.

Organization

This program is managed by the Office of High Energy Physics within the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. It involves collaborative research across DOE national laboratories, universities, and sometimes industry partners. Funding comes from the DOE's budget for high energy physics and quantum information science initiatives.

The leader of this program might hold a position like Program Manager for Quantum Information Science within the Office of High Energy Physics.

Partners

No specific partnerships are listed, but the program involves collaboration with numerous research institutions and DOE national labs.

History

The initiative began around 2018 as part of a broader DOE push into quantum information science, recognizing the potential of QIS to revolutionize various scientific fields, including high energy physics. Key developments include the establishment of research projects, workshops, and funding opportunities aimed at integrating quantum science with particle physics. This program has evolved from theoretical explorations to practical implementations, with ongoing projects in quantum simulation, sensing, and computation.

Funding

While specific initial funding amounts are not detailed, the program is supported by DOE's allocations for both high energy physics and quantum information science research. Funding supports research grants, equipment, and personnel involved in QIS projects.

Implementation

Implementation involves:

  • Funding research into quantum algorithms and sensors tailored for high energy physics.
  • Supporting collaborations between quantum scientists and high energy physicists.
  • Facilitating access to quantum computing resources for experimental data analysis.

The program is designed to be ongoing, adapting to advances in both quantum science and high energy physics.
