Context
The NVQL program is intended as a national, community-driven effort supporting the integration and translation of quantum technology from fundamental science and engineering to use-inspired applications.
Overview
Our SCY-QNet project will draw together expertise and talent from a broad range of disciplines to enable the creation and application of functional long-distance quantum networks. This federated NQVL testbed, which will be developed and led by the quantum network community, is designed to enable a plethora of users to contribute to advances in Quantum Information Science and Engineering.
Purpose
In this SCY-QNet Town Hall, we will explore how to coordinate a federated quantum network infrastructure and establish mechanisms to enable members to use the SCY-QNet virtual laboratory. Our SCY-QNet Town Hall meeting seeks community input to foster open scientific dialogue, to collect baseline data to aid in the development of a diverse workforce development plan, and to ensure the broad participation of the entire QISE community. As part of this gathering, we will host the first Quantum Networking Domestic Cooperation (QNDC) meeting on the second day of the Town Hall.
The outcomes of this event will be:
1.Addressing the specific requirements of functional quantum networks,
2.Refining the science questions regarding building quantum repeaters,
3.Identifying enabling quantum communication and network technologies, risks, and gaps
4.Identifying critical partnerships and dependencies to carry on the construction of SCY-QNet.
Strategic Development Plan
Lastly, an important document, the “SCY-QNet Strategic Plan,” will be developed. This community-driven document will help our collaboration to define SCY-QNet proposed applications, the methods involved to deliver the quantum network facility, and the phased-approach engineering of the steps to deliver SCY-QNet as a virtual laboratory accessible to the entire quantum network community.
