The US Department of Energy is funding the Nuclear Theory community through this pre-pilot program to meet and organize efforts related to quantum computing and quantum information science broadly related to theoretical nuclear science.
Quantum Information Science and Quantum Computing have the potential to enable breakthrough discoveries in nuclear physics and alter paradigms in theoretical research in disruptive ways. Our goal is to anticipate and prepare the community for these changes, and to identify opportunities to make rapid progress toward the Grand Challenges facing our field.
