Quantum information science is revolutionizing the way we approach both computation and basic science. The U.S. and Europe both have strong quantum information science programs. Historically, the programs have been distributed with small group investigators following their own research themes. Recently, a more organized, strategic approach to quantum information science has arisen. The European Union in 2018 started the Europe-wide Quantum Flagship project. The U.S. recently adopted the National Quantum Initiative to coordinate national quantum research efforts. Both initiatives identified key research themes in quantum networking, quantum metrology and sensing, and quantum computation and simulation. They have also prioritized training and education of students to work in this area. Leveraging the synergies of these strategic efforts, this award supports a U.S.-Europe workshop on research themes in quantum information in Washington, DC in September 2019. The workshop will bring together prominent researchers from around Europe and the U.S. to two days of intensive discussion on three key intellectual areas: quantum networking, quantum computation and simulation, and quantum sensing and metrology. The goal of the meeting is to identify common themes for cooperation, accelerating the rate of expansion in knowledge in these areas for the mutual benefit of U.S. and European societies.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.

量子信息科学正在彻底改变我们处理计算和基础科学的方式。美国和欧洲都拥有强大的量子信息科学项目。从历史上看，这些项目都是由小组研究人员按照自己的研究主题分发的。最近，出现了一种更有组织、更具战略性的量子信息科学方法。欧盟于2018年启动了欧洲范围内的量子旗舰项目。美国最近通过了国家量子计划来协调国家量子研究工作。这两项举措都确定了量子网络、量子计量和传感以及量子计算和模拟方面的关键研究主题。他们还优先考虑对学生进行该领域工作的培训和教育。利用这些战略努力的协同作用，该奖项支持 2019 年 9 月在华盛顿特区举办的关于量子信息研究主题的美欧研讨会。该研讨会将汇集来自欧洲和美国各地的杰出研究人员，进行为期两天的深入讨论三个关键知识领域：量子网络、量子计算和模拟、以及量子传感和计量。会议的目标是确定共同的合作主题，加快这些领域知识的扩展速度，以实现美国和欧洲社会的共同利益。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审查标准。
