Workshop on DOE User Facilities for Quantum Information Science – Jan. 12-13, 2022

The first U.S. Department of Energy National Quantum Information Science Research Center workshop on national laboratory user facilities takes place for half-days on Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 12 and 13, 2022.

Video recordings of the workshop are available only to members of the DOE National QIS Research Center universities and national labs. To be granted access to view the recording, click on a link below, and complete the short form that follows.

Jan. 12 workshop
Jan. 13 workshop

The workshop explores ways we can leverage DOE national laboratory facilities for quantum information science. The national lab partners of the DOE quantum centers host a suite of world-class facilities, and DOE’s significant investment in these resources — including synchrotron light sources, a free electron laser, and a spallation neutron source — has advanced research in numerous fields of science.

Every facility has unique capabilities, and by capitalizing on these versatile instruments for quantum information science, we can accelerate QIS research and strengthen the quantum ecosystem.

Workshop objectives:

  • Introduce facilities and their capabilities
  • Outline facility user programs and proposal processes
  • Virtually tour facilities
  • Present the potential scientific impact facilities can have for QIS
  • Present recent facility-related developments in QIS
