About
Pilot phase development efforts are currently underway for DQS-CP technology development funded under the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) National Quantum Virtual Laboratory (NQVL) program to create a technology roadmap for the development of quantum sensing of molecular and materials structure and functional properties.
As part of the roadmap development process, the team will convene experts in quantum information science and technology with experts in the end-use applications of molecular and materials sensing, ranging from academic researchers in quantum materials to industrial researchers in catalysis and drug discovery.
Each of the targets below represent potential transformative breakthroughs in science and technology:
Mission
A codesign approach will be used to help focus research and development on the most critical and limiting challenges facing current applications, and in turn will forecast new directions enabled by breakthroughs in the fundamental science.
The team will also begin work on validating new approaches to quantum sensing that promise to circumvent what was previously believed to be the fundamental limit on sensitivity, as well as the implementation of a modular approach to electrical readout that will dramatically expand the materials basis for future quantum sensors.
The DQS-CP is actively seeking collaborators and stakeholders to join an upcoming town hall and welcomes interested parties to complete the contact form and be added to our future project-specific mailings and outreach.
National Quantum Virtual Laboratory
The National Science Foundation is introducing the National Quantum Virtual Laboratory (NQVL) concept as an overarching shared infrastructure designed to facilitate the translation from basic science and engineering to the resultant technology, while at the same time emphasizing and advancing its scientific and technical value.
The NQVL aims to develop and utilize use-inspired and application-oriented quantum technologies.
