Sandia has a multiplatform, multiapplication quantum information science program. The QIS program is built leveraging Sandia’s strengths in microelectronics fabrication, nanotechnology, and computational modeling, and complements and strengthens Sandia’s overall mission.
Sandia National Laboratories was recently awarded 3 new projects in Quantum Information Science (QIS) by the Department of Energy's Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program and 2 new projects in quantum technologies both DOE's Basic Energy Sciences. Two of the ASCR projects are for work in quantum testbeds, while the third is in the area of quantum algorithms. A fourth QIS project was awarded in FY17, also in the area of quantum algorithms.
Sandia National Laboratories has developed a broad set of capabilities in quantum information science (QIS), including elements of quantum computing, quantum communications, and quantum sensing. The Sandia QIS program is built atop unique DOE investments at the laboratories, including the MESA microelectronics fabrication facility, the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) facilities (joint with LANL), the Ion Beam Laboratory, and ASC High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities. Sandia has invested $75 M of LDRD funding over 12 years to develop unique, differentiating capabilities that leverage these DOE infrastructure investments.
