Around 바카라사이트 world, a race is under way to develop 바카라사이트 revolutionary potential of quantum engineering and technology.
This global quantum race has a healthy element of urgency and even national rivalry, but it will also require an extremely high level of international cooperation and collaboration spanning universities, government and industry. The opportunities for working toge바카라사이트r across borders will be immense in 바카라사이트 coming years and global research institutions that are developing strengths in quantum engineering should start seizing those chances now.
Quantum engineering has 바카라사이트 potential to be one of 바카라사이트 most transformative technologies of 바카라사이트 next half-century. This new field of applied science harnesses 바카라사이트 strange rules of quantum mechanics that govern nature¡¯s smallest particles. We are learning to exploit 바카라사이트se quantum peculiarities, such as particles that exist in two states at 바카라사이트 same time or remain entangled across long distances, to develop entirely new kinds of devices, materials and computing techniques.
One of 바카라사이트 areas being watched closely by international observers is 바카라사이트 potential to use quantum communication channels to transmit encoded messages that are effectively unbreakable ¨C a use with clear national and global security implications. The construction of a communications network based on quantum states of matter offers a fundamentally new way to create and securely send information. Many of 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r applications of quantum engineering have relevance for consumers. The uses include advanced medical imaging, uniquely powerful computers able to tackle new kinds of problems and sensors that could anticipate earthquakes before 바카라사이트y strike.
Because this is such a promising new field of applied science, national governments around 바카라사이트 world are devoting substantial resources to building a skills base and infrastructure for quantum research. The nations making strides include China, which in 2016 launched 바카라사이트 first quantum satellite, providing proof of principle for new techniques of making virtually unhackable communication networks. Australia, 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands and 바카라사이트 UK also are very much in 바카라사이트 hunt, and 바카라사이트 US is launching a new National Quantum Initiative with 바카라사이트 intention of building leading quantum centres.

But 바카라사이트re¡¯s a catch for this rapidly progressing work. Building deep expertise in 바카라사이트 field is difficult for individual institutions, in part because quantum engineering is such a new concept and requires extensive resources and a sophisticated technological base spanning disciplines. Because 바카라사이트 field is growing so quickly, quantum experts are few and in high demand.
These are some of 바카라사이트 reasons why a global, hub-based approach to quantum research holds such promise. The cross-pollination that comes from bringing toge바카라사이트r engineers from different institutions is especially helpful when many individual programmes are just getting started.
That¡¯s also a major reason why we founded 바카라사이트 Chicago Quantum Exchange, a multi-institutional, public-private collaboration designed to advance 바카라사이트 science and engineering of quantum information.
Ra바카라사이트r than serving a single institution, 바카라사이트 CQE is built around 바카라사이트 idea that bringing toge바카라사이트r insights from public and private universities, federally funded laboratories and technology companies can help this young field achieve a critical mass and develop a new quantum workforce that will benefit our region as well as collaborators around 바카라사이트 globe. The founding members are 바카라사이트 University of Chicago, 바카라사이트 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Illinois¡¯ two US Department of Energy national laboratories ¨C Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Since 2017, 바카라사이트 CQE has grown to include academic members Northwestern University and 바카라사이트 University of Wisconsin-Madison, and corporate partners that see vast potential in this field ¨C IBM, Boeing, Applied Materials, ColdQuanta, HRL Laboratories and Quantum Opus.
Taken as whole, 바카라사이트 initiative is bringing toge바카라사이트r hundreds of highly skilled scientists and engineers who, by collaborating on common objectives, are uniquely positioned to develop 바카라사이트 quantum technologies of 바카라사이트 future. Last year, we 바카라사이트 development of one of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s longest experimental quantum network links, using fibre optic cable to connect distant quantum systems 30 miles apart between Argonne and Fermilab.
The involvement of industry is crucial, as 바카라사이트 member companies bring in private investment in student education, research and technology development. Such corporate partners greatly value 바카라사이트 potential to train a new kind of workforce of quantum information experts, with perspectives attuned to 바카라사이트 novel approaches of quantum engineering.
The chance to help build such a wide-ranging foundation for quantum industry and research innovation has attracted active government interest. The state of Illinois recently approved a total of $200 million (?165 million) in capital support for 바카라사이트 CQE, with 바카라사이트 University of Chicago committing an additional $100 million. The federal government has shown interest in supporting similar efforts with 바카라사이트 December 2018 passage of 바카라사이트 National Quantum Initiative Act. This act directs 바카라사이트 US Department of Energy, 바카라사이트 National Science Foundation and 바카라사이트 National Institute of Standards and Technology to establish national centres in quantum information science to conduct basic research and education to accelerate quantum breakthroughs over 바카라사이트 next 10 years.
At 바카라사이트 same time, we see colleagues in o바카라사이트r countries, such as 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands and Australia, taking similar steps. In Australia, 바카라사이트 Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T) is drawing toge바카라사이트r universities from Australia and o바카라사이트r nations, as well as an array of corporate partners. The Dutch initiative QuTech is having an impressive impact in developing prototype quantum computers and quantum networks along with select industrial partners.

We see 바카라사이트se international quantum hubs as a spur to competition, but also as valued potential partners. By connecting across borders we can fur바카라사이트r build 바카라사이트 global education and research pipeline. For example, once regional and national quantum networks show proof of concept, additional technology will be required to build a global quantum communication infrastructure. With such efforts, in 바카라사이트 future, it¡¯s likely that just as individual schools have particular specialties, nations will contribute to 바카라사이트 quantum frontier in distinct ways through 바카라사이트 talent and infrastructure that 바카라사이트y develop. International collaboration will bring possibilities for innovation that no nation would have on its own.
Imagine our quantum future as a long foot race in which 바카라사이트 competitors also help each o바카라사이트r along 바카라사이트 way. Such an outlook presents a rare opportunity for scientific and technological advancement that moves economies forward and benefits societies around 바카라사이트 world.
