The electric sector is undergoing rapid change. As larger portions of the economy, such as transportation, are electrified and intermittent resources and new energy storage solutions are developed and incorporated into the electric grid, managing the system grows increasingly complex. Quantum computing can play a part in addressing the the changing requirements.

This brief identifies the top priorities from the 48 recommendations made in two other QED-C reports. Priorities were derived from member responses to a survey.

Quantum algorithms are the building blocks that run on top of the foundation of quantum computers.

Quantum sensing, the use of quantum systems to measure fields and forces, is a rapidly expanding field with broad applications, including for national security. One of the primary application areas for quantum sensors is in positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), where devices including atomic clocks, quantum inertial sensors, atomic gravimeters, and quantum electromagnetic sensors may enable new capabilities for future PNT architectures, especially in GPS-denied or challenged environments.

This work introduces an open source suite of quantum application-oriented performance benchmarks that is designed to measure the effectiveness of quantum computing hardware at executing quantum applications.

Quantum computing (QC) is a technology with enormous potential, but for the moment, it is one only of potential. This report evaluates potential near-term QC applications as well as the prospect of using public-private partnerships (PPPs) to accelerate the time horizon for meaningful applications of quantum computing.

Quantum sensors are devices that leverage the quantum properties of a system to measure forces, fields, or time.

A first-order understanding of key QC supply chain issues and to better assess the current and potential future choke points for the domestic QC supply chain

A report that reflects insight gained from interviews of QC subject matter experts in industry, academia, and government; case studies of QC-related technologies; case studies of technology and market development of select science-intensive technologies outside of quantum computing; assessment of use of critical minerals in quantum computing; and two survey of QC industry participants, one covering the quantum computing market forecast and one focused on risks to the domestic QC supply chain.
