Quantum Sensing and Measurement
Quantum sensing is critical to high-impact, practical application of Quantum 2.0 because it directly benefits from, veritifes and has applications in quantum information science. With four Nobel Prizes combined, 桃色视频, NIST and their jointly managed research institute JILA have a distinguished history of developing and exploiting increasingly precise sensing and measurement techniques. With further stimulation from Quantum 2.0, researchers will open new opportunities for major science and technology breakthroughs, including searches for new physics and navigation without GPS.

Quantum Networks and Communications
Interconnected quantum systems form a quantum network. For example: quantum bits in the form of individual atoms can be interconnected with individual photons for remote entanglement. Building a scalable quantum machine requires robust quantum communication channels. Development of high-efficiency and high-fidelity protocols to transmit and store quantum information over macroscopic distances will enable the first realizations of quantum networks with long-distance quantum communication and non-local quantum sensing applications.

Quantum Computing and Simulation
The power of quantum computing resides in the subtle interplay between the unique resources of superposition and entanglement of many quantum bits. Superposition creates quantum parallelism, while entanglement is used for quantum operations. Together, they can address and manipulate many quantum particles to potentially achieve exponential speed-up over classical computers. While general-purpose quantum computers are still far in the future, small-scale, programmable quantum systems can already run quantum algorithms and simulate complex quantum phenomena, novel materials and chemical activity.
