Why quantum?
Quantum Information Science and Technology (QIST) combines the principles of quantum physics and computing technology to solve problems too complex for even the most powerful classical computers.
QIST has the potential to accelerate the path to solutions to global challenges and to develop new technologies that dramatically evolve the role of science and business. This includes improvements in computing, sensing, networks, communications, cryptography, medical technology, and transportation systems.
