E Safety June 29: Scientists generally believe that quantum phenomenon will make future quantum computers complex calculations in a speed of millions of times higher than that of today's supercomputer. The application of this technology will have a profound impact on other techniques that communicate security, navigation, imaging, and traditional systems cannot be implemented.
The US government and Congress will attach great importance to this subversive technology. In the past year, Washington has launched a lot of discussions against quantum science. In order to accelerate quantum studies, promote the US economic development and ensure national security, the US Miss La Ham Smith proposes the National Quantum Planning Act, the US House of Representatives, the Space and Technical Committee, on June 27, on June 27, in the United States. The bill (HR 6227).
US National Quantum Action Plan
"National Quantum Planning Act" proposes:
Formulate 10 "National Quantum Action Plan" to accelerate the US quantum scientific development;
Relevant policies and plans required to establish a "National Quantum Coordination Office" coordination plan;
Authorized US Department of Energy (DOE), National Standards and Technology Research Institute (NIST) and US National Science Foundation (NSF) to invest $ 1275 million (about RMB 8.445 billion) in quantum research in 2019 ~ 2023. DOE, NIST, NSF4 will receive: $ 625 million, $ 400 million, US $ 250 million, each institution will be determined by the US Congress's funding agency, and allocation is usually lower than the authorized expenditure amount.
First, the US 10 Years Quantum Action Plan
The bill proposes that the US president shall implement the 10-year "National Quantum Action Plan", including:
Ÿ Set the goals, priorities and indicators of this 10-year plan to accelerate the development of the United States in quantum information sciences and technology applications.
Ÿ Investment supports the basic quantum information science and technology research, demonstrations, and other activities in the US federal.
Ÿ Investment support related activities to expand quantum information science and technical labor pipeline.
Ÿ Provide cross-sectoral coordination support for the US federal quantum information science and technology research, demo and other related activities.
Ÿÿ Cooperate with industry and academia to utilize knowledge and resources.
Ÿ Effectively use existing federal investments to facilitate the implementation of planning goals.
Second, establish a national quantum coordination office
The bill requested US President to establish "National Quantum Coordination Office" in the White House Science and Technology Policy Office, responsible for the coordination of the agency, and provides strategic planning support, act as a central contact point of stakeholders, and carry out public publicity to promote the private sector Federal Government's research commercialization.
The Director of the Office is determined by the Director of the American Science and Technology Policy Office and the US Department of Commerce, the Director of the US National Science Foundation and the Energy Department. This "National Quantum Planning Act" also clearly requires that employees should be exhausted from the US federal agencies and are members of the National Science and Technology Commission Quantum Information Science Subcommittee.
Third, the establishment of quantum information science group committee
The bill requested the Information Science Subcommittee to coordinate the quantum information science and technology research, education activities and projects of the US federal agencies, and develop the goals and priorities of the plan according to the awareness, labor gap and other national needs, assess and propose the demand for federal government infrastructure. To support the plan, assess the opportunities for R & D cooperation with strategic ally in quantum information science technology.
Fourth, establish a national quantum plan advisory committee
The responsibilities of the US National Quantum Planning Advisory Committee include: Assessing the trend and development of quantum information science and technology for the US President and Quantum Information Science, implementing the progress of the program, the need to modify the plan, and submit to the President Evaluation Report.
The bill has different requirements for NIST, NSF, and DOE.
In order to promote the research and development of quantum information sciences and technology, the Act provides for the research of quantum information science and technology for the US National Standards and Technology Research Institute (NIST), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the US Department of Energy (DOE). Specific requirements and initiatives:
National Standards and Technology Research Institute (NIST)
The Act requires the US Standards and Technology Research Institute (NIST) to support the basic quantum information science and technology to develop the indicators and criteria for promoting the development of quantum applications. The bill also requires NIST to use existing projects to cooperate with other appropriate institutions to train quantum information science and technology scientists. In addition, NIST also requires stakeholder seminars to discuss future indicators, standards, network security, and other allocation requirements for the development of the US quantum information sciences and technology industries.
National Science Foundation (NSF)
The bill requested the Basic Information Science and Engineering Research and Educational Program for Director of the National Science Foundation of the National Science Foundation, and launched an interdisciplinary quantum information science and engineering research on activities, supporting human resource development in quantum information sciences and engineering. In addition, the Director of the National Science Foundation with other suitable federal agencies, allocated to higher education institutions or legally non-profit organizations to set up five "quantum research and education multidisciplinary centers".
US Department of Energy (DOE)
The bill requested the basic quantum information scientific research based on the US Department of Energy, formulating the research objectives of quantum information scientific research, and established the National Quantum Information Science Research Center. In the institutional level, the bill will authorize the establishment of 5 "Quantum Information Science Research Center" in the US Department of Energy. It is committed to carrying out basic research to speed up through quantum information science and technology.
US media C4RNET recently reported that in order to protect data from the threat of China's quantum calculation research, the United States should also jointly promote quantum calculation research. Read the full article, original text title: Investment $ 1.3 billion! US National Quantum Action Plan
