Technical Advisory Committees

About

The Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) are where industry, academia, government, and the quantum community come together to collaborate on next steps for developing, growing, and commercializing QIST. Each TAC sets its own meeting schedule and projects. TAC leaders rely upon the volunteers and active participants of the TAC membership to determine priorities. Members of the TAC volunteer to contribute to the TAC’s work by participating in activities such as writing blog articles, organizing workshops or webinars, reviewing forthcoming reports, or adding to a reference document.

Membership

Individuals must join a TAC to access TAC documents, participate in meetings, and actively guide projects within the TAC. With the exception of the Affiliate membership category, TAC membership is at the discretion of the individual, rather than the organization. Certain TACs restrict membership to specific membership categories.

Identify gaps and support enabling technology R&D to enhance the quantum ecosystem. Provide the Government with a collective industry voice in guiding R&D investment priorities. Provide a platform for communication and collaboration within the quantum supply chain.
A forum for government, industry and academia to exchange information about legal and legal-adjacent issues and policies related to QIST. Topics of interest include international engagement, workforce diversity, intellectual property and social/ethical matters of QIST applications.
A forum for government and industry to exchange information related to advancing QIST for national security applications. Topics cross-cut with other TACs, but with a national security focus.
Identify ways to encourage development of standards and performance metrics in Quantum Information Science to accelerate commercialization of quantum-based products and services. Connect members with relevant standards development organizations worldwide.
Identify and elaborate applications and use cases of quantum-enabled technologies, optimally organized for members by topics: Computing, Sensing, and Communications & Security. The output will inform companies across the supply chain — from component suppliers to users — as well as policy makers, government program managers, and investors.
Identify education and workforce development needs to support the emerging quantum industry, working with universities and other educational institutions.
