Annual Plan

Goals

  • Drive engagement by continuing a member-driven “block” structure. Each block consists of multiple meetings in rapid succession focused on different aspects of a single member-requested topic (e.g. technical introduction, applications, and funding opportunities for a single type of quantum sensor). We anticipate blocks on magnetometers and at least one block on quantum computing.
  • Support inter-TAC collaborations via joint workshops and reports.
  • Expand and solidify interactions between government leaders and commercial and university TAC members to ensure there is a common understanding of needs between parties. The goal of this is to lower barriers to entry between university and commercial TAC members and government contracted programs

Projects

  • Implement new block session structure
  • Host an information session dedicated to sharing the 'how' behind contracting to various government agencies that fund quantum R&D.
  • Host a meeting of representatives of NATO’s quantum technologies group to provide an overview of how QED-C members can engage with NATO’s recent quantum strategy, including the NATO Transatlantic Quantum Community (TQC), NATO Innovation Fund (NIF), DIANA program, and Denmark’s Deep Tech Lab – Quantum (DTL-Q).
