To coordinate a national research effort encompassing Federal agencies, the academic community, and industry leaders already underway, The White House National Quantum Coordination Office has released A Strategic Vision for America’s Quantum Networks. Research in this area will ensure continued advances in fundamental science and enable innovative applications of quantum devices to improve the Nation’s economy and security.
Two specific goals will focus efforts in this direction:
- Over the next five years, companies and laboratories in the United States will demonstrate the foundational science and key technologies to enable quantum networks, from quantum interconnects, quantum repeaters, and quantum memories to high-throughput quantum channels and exploration of space-based entanglement distribution across intercontinental distances. At the same time, the potential impact and improved applications of such systems will be identified for commercial, scientific, health and national security benefits.
- Over the next twenty years, quantum internet links will leverage networked quantum devices to enable new capabilities not possible with classical technology, while advancing the understanding of the role entanglement plays.
Further updates und documents can be found in the "Quantum.gov Publication Library".
