Project
Project
Overview |
This research project is investigating
architectures and applications for scalable quantum information systems,
sponsored by DARPA.
The center has four locations:
MIT,
U.C. Davis, U.C.
Berkeley, and
U. Washington.
and the principle investigators are Professor
Frederic Chong,
Professor Isaac
Chuang, Professor John
Kubiatowicz, and

Objectives. This is a collaborative computer science and physical
sciences effort to design a complete system architecture
for a realistic
programmable,
arbitrary-scale quantum computer. Our focus is on designing components
and systems which provide low-overhead fault-tolerance to enable solid-state
quantum computation and application of quantum information to the real-world
problems in secure distributed information storage.
Partners. We work closely with industrial partners in this research,
including IBM (Yorktown and Almaden Research Centers), and with Hewlett-Packard
basic research. We also have regular interaction with our industrial sponsors,
including Motorola, Sun Microsystems, and the U.S. Postal Service, and
twice-a-year meetings of the Things That Think research consortium at the
MIT Media Laboratory.
