This workshop will be organized in Fall 2019 and will bring together key stakeholders from academia and industry. The participants will discuss current challenges in Quantum Simulations, opportunities to overcome those challenges, and will map out a path forward to enable near-term progress. The specific aim of the workshop is to identify realistic deliverables in the area of Quantum Simulations, including: i) Prototypes that could be developed in the next 2-5 years, and ii) Testbeds needed to evaluate them in the following 5 years.Unlike digital quantum computers, programmable quantum simulators (PQS) have already surpassed the ability of classical computers to solve quantum problems on many fronts. Indeed, at this juncture the exploration on PQS of non-equilibrium phenomena, many-body decoherence, and the foundations of quantum statistical mechanics has led to the notion of "information as fuel" with a nanothermodynamical revolution presently in progress. Thus, PQS not only allow exploration of fundamental physics questions and materials design, but also are inspiring new kinds of devices and applications. Beyond work done so far, PQS offer us a new opportunity to address deep unanswered questions in open quantum systems far from equilibrium, quantum complex networks, lattice gauge theory, and many other areas of physics, such as the quark-gluon plasma and the interior of neutron stars.The White Paper produced by this workshop will help guide research and investment in PQS US industry and government agencies such as NSF. Students reading this White Paper will have a quick and clear understanding of the scope of the field. At the present time, digital quantum computers are often in the press while the understanding of PQS is not widespread beyond people in the field. This workshop will help expand the understanding of PQS and quantum information science more generally to physics students and physics professionals from many subfields, to STEM professionals, and to the wider public.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.

该研讨会将于2019年秋季组织，并将汇集来自学术界和行业的主要利益相关者。参与者将讨论量子模拟中当前的挑战，克服这些挑战的机会，并将绘制出迈向近期进展的途径。研讨会的具体目的是确定量子模拟领域的现实可交付成果，包括：i）可以在未来2 - 5年内开发的原型，ii）在接下来的5年中进行评估所需的测试床。数字量子计算机，可编程量子模拟器（PQS）已经超过了古典计算机在许多方面解决量子问题的能力。的确，在这个关头，对非平衡现象，多体反应和量子统计力学基础的PQ的探索导致了目前正在进行的纳米热力学革命的“信息作为燃料”的概念。因此，PQ不仅允许探索基本物理问题和材料设计，而且还启发了新型的设备和应用。除了到目前为止所做的工作之外，PQS还为我们提供了一个新的机会，可以解决远离均衡，量子复杂网络，晶格量规理论以及许多其他物理领域的开放量子系统中的深层问题，例如Quark-gluon等离子体和内部该研讨会生产的白皮书将有助于指导美国PQS美国行业和政府机构（例如NSF）的研究和投资。阅读这本白皮书的学生将对该领域的范围有一个快速，清晰的了解。目前，数字量子计算机通常在媒体上出现，而对PQ的理解并不广泛超出现场的人。该研讨会将有助于扩大对PQ和量子信息科学科学的理解，从许多子领域，STEM专业人员和更广泛的公众扩展到物理专业人员和物理专业人员。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被视为值得通过评估的支持。利用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响审查标准。
