QuaNTRASE:
A Collaboration by UGA & UTK

At this moment, humanity is in the rare position of not only witnessing a civilization-transforming technological change — a Quantum Revolution — but also having the collective experience, vision, and resources to intentionally shape this change for the greatest benefit to global security, scientific advancement, and equity. Harnessing the full potential of quantum information processing will require an ecosystem with a broad spectrum of quantum technologies. Quantum networks are one of the critical components of this ecosystem. Quantum networks harness quantum phenomena like entanglement to encode information in ways not possible with current communication technologies (classical networks). The combination of quantum computing and quantum networks will provide scientists and engineers with state-of-the-art computational capabilities. Quantum networks will enable efficient use of distributed quantum resources and a new generation of scientific applications that can harness quantum properties (entanglement, squeezing, superposition, etc.) to accelerate scientific breakthroughs. Many aspects of quantum information science such as quantum sensing, distributed quantum simulation, and many-body quantum entanglement have direct bearing on materials modeling, molecular dynamics, etc. Our interdisciplinary team is tackling all aspects of quantum networks, from building blocks to scientific applications.
