Nontechnical Abstract:This award supports the second report-out meeting of current recipients of the EAGER awards focusing on topological quantum computing. The funding opportunity, announced in February 2017 with NSF 17-053 Dear Colleague Letter: Funding Opportunity - A "Quantum Leap" Demonstration of Topological Quantum Computing" generated 15 funded EAGER proposals focusing on research in the area of braiding. The first meeting was organized in the Spring of 2018, and involved participants of the first "class" of EAGER awards made in 2017. This award supports the second meeting, scheduled for the second week of July 2019. The workshop enables a full report-out and overview of accomplishments so far based on results of work done within the first 2 years of funding existence, which marks the final report for the first class of awards, and 1-year report for the second class of the 2-year EAGER awards. Technical Abstract:Providing experimental evidence for braiding is a needed transformative step towards topological quantum computing. Ability to generate, control and braid Majorana zero modes is central to this effort. Theoretical support is required to design braiding schemes, ways to design and execute algorithms, and enable topological quantum computation protected from local disturbances by non-local character of the shared quantum state. The meeting of Principal Investigators funded through the NSF 17-053 Dear Colleague Letter: Funding Opportunity - A "Quantum Leap" Demonstration of Topological Quantum Computing", will serve as report-out session and review of accomplishments, while also providing an opportunity for the award recipients to exchange and discuss details of their findings and plan next steps.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

非技术摘要：该奖项支持 EAGER 奖项当前获奖者的第二次报告会，重点关注拓扑量子计算。该资助机会于 2017 年 2 月在 NSF 17-053 亲爱的同事的信中宣布：资助机会 - 拓扑量子计算的“量子飞跃”演示”产生了 15 项资助的 EAGER 提案，重点关注编织领域的研究。第一次会议举行该奖项于 2018 年春季举办，涉及 2017 年第一届 EAGER 奖项的参与者。该奖项支持第二届会议定于 2019 年 7 月第二周举行。研讨会根据资助后头两年内完成的工作结果，对迄今为止取得的成就进行了全面报告和概述，这标志着第一类项目的最终报告奖，以及两年期 EAGER 奖二等奖的一年期报告 技术摘要：为编织提供实验证据是拓扑量子计算所需的变革性步骤，生成、控制和编织马约拉纳零模式的能力至关重要。这项工作需要理论支持来设计编织方案、设计和执行算法的方法，以及通过共享量子态的非局部特性来实现拓扑量子计算免受局部干扰。由 NSF 17-053 亲爱的同事信资助的首席研究员会议将作为报告会议和成就回顾，同时也为获奖者交流和讨论他们的研究结果的细节并计划下一步。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响进行评估，被认为值得支持审查标准。
