Connecting with the quantum future through the CIQC
summary
CIQC plans a renewal focused on three challenges: discover where quantum gives real advantage, engineer scalable platforms, and use QIS to probe nature. Concrete efforts include verifiable quantum advantage tests and post‑quantum cryptanalysis, building toward a claimed quantum‑chemistry advantage within ~6 years, and exploring quantum computational sensing (Grover‑style search on stored sensor states). Platform work: laser cooling new atoms, AE codes and yttrium nuclear‑spin qubits with Quantinuum, phonon studies to push superconducting T1 toward many milliseconds, an electron quantum‑CCD, 3x speedup of neutral‑atom transport, 3D‑printed ion cages, and a universal resource‑comparison stack plus a student quantum tapeout course.
