The report estimates QC market size at US$848 million in 2023 with robust expansion expected over the next three years.

The quantum industry is advancing rapidly and need for qualified talent at all levels is growing; while efforts are underway to prepare students at the undergraduate, masters, and PhD level for quantum engineering and scientist roles, there are few associate degree and certificate-level programs geared toward training technicians

Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) and opto-electronic integration are critical to enable and advance quantum systems. Optimized for quantum technologies, PICs would equip those technologies with new capabilities; improve performance; and reduce their size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C), and thereby accelerate the market for emerging quantum products.

The resulting framework organizes technology components and materials according to a view of the quantum stack, which includes key supply chain elements for quantum technologies such as computing, sensing and metrology, and communications and networking.

The way we approach security for the electric grid must undergo a paradigm shift to neutralize emergent threats and manage a decentralized infrastructure that is becoming exponentially more complex.

This report provides findings on quantum network parameters developed by defining high-level components, input/output, and controls based upon examination of proposed abstractions from standards bodies and quantum network simulation packages.

Combinatorial optimization is anticipated to be one of the primary use cases for quantum computation in the coming years. The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and Quantum Annealing (QA) have the potential to demonstrate significant run-time performance benefits over current state-of-the-art solutions.

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.
