QUANTUM ADVISORY COMMITTEE ISSUES REPORT
The National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee recently issued a new report on "quantum networking and the role that testbeds play in research and development of quantum networking technologies.” The report outlines several findings on the program, including how networking capabilities impact the future of the United States' economic prosperity and economic security and that continued investment into research and development (R&D) will be necessary to "determine, understand, and realize the advantages of quantum networking for practical applications." Among its recommendations, the committee advised continued support for fundamental research in quantum networking, as well as federal funding for quantum testbeds.
