Prompt: A key long term goal is the discovery of new phenomena and new laws using quantum simulators and quantum computers. Within the context of the problems of interest to this collaboration, what steps should we be taking to bring this goal closer to fruition? What are good benchmarks along the way? What conceptual issues remain? What are the key barriers to implementation? What are the some opportunities for greater collaboration between theory and experiment?
