The classical computers in our laptops, smart phones, and cars, together with those in large supercomputing facilities, have completely revolutionized modern life. The quantum computer, which harnesses the quantum-mechanical behavior of physical systems to gain a revolutionary advantage over existing computer technologies, will have greater computational power than any conceivable classical computer and an inestimable impact, not only on all manners of scientific research, but also in every type of human activity. Motivated by this potential impact, several large-scale efforts have been pursued by industry, national laboratories, and others to bring about the quantum computer. The Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Present and Future Quantum Computation engages the academic community to support these large-scale efforts by addressing fundamental obstacles that all of them face. Additionally, the Institute provides education and workforce development at several levels -- a Master's program, online courses for everybody ranging from high-school students to trained professionals, programs to boost the involvement of computer science and mathematics faculties in quantum computing, and other activities -- in order to build the quantum-smart workforce that the Nation will need. The Institute has a large footprint within several campuses of the University of California and will leverage their breadth and diversity to bring a large and diverse pool of talent into quantum information science and technology.The overall goal of the Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Present and Future Quantum Computation is to help bring about the quantum computer. The realization of large-scale quantum computation is the central scientific challenge of our times. Several fundamental obstacles stand in the way of the practical quantum computer, including the development of algorithms that utilize quantum computers to reduce the complexity of generic computational tasks, the use of the smaller-scale quantum technologies available at present and in the near future for specialized computational tasks, and the scaling-up of quantum technologies without degrading the high fidelity and modularity needed for large-scale quantum computing. To address these challenges, the Institute mobilizes an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers that includes experts in physics, computer science, chemistry, mathematics, electrical engineering, and materials research. Theoretical research on quantum algorithms for present and future quantum computing technologies will be motivated and tested by the experimental development of atomic, molecular, and optics-based quantum computing testbeds. The Institute will also promote the development of quantum science and technology nationwide through extensive education and workforce development programs; research coordination and partnership activities that draw together stakeholders from academia, industry, government laboratories, and other consortia; and influential engagement with the computer and mathematical sciences communities through the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing and the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics.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.

我们的笔记本电脑，智能手机和汽车中的古典计算机以及大型超级计算设施的计算机已经完全彻底改变了现代生活。利用物理系统的量子力学行为以比现有计算机技术获得革命性优势的量子计算机将比任何可能的经典计算机具有更大的计算能力，并且不仅对所有类型的人类活动，而且对所有类型的科学研究的界限都将具有不可估量的影响。受到这种潜在影响的动机，行业，国家实验室和其他人都采取了一些大规模的努力，以实现量子计算机。用于当前和未来量子计算的Quantum Leap挑战研究所通过解决所有人都面临的基本障碍来吸引学术界支持这些大规模的努力。此外，该研究所还提供多个层次的教育和劳动力发展 - 硕士课程，从高中生到训练有素的专业人员的每个人的在线课程，促进计算机科学和数学学院参与量子计算的计划以及其他活动 - 为了建立这个国家的量子劳动力，这将需要该国家。该研究所在加利福尼亚大学的几个校园内拥有大量的占地面积，并将利用其广度和多样性将大量的人才库带入量子信息科学和技术中。大规模量子计算的实现是我们时代的中心科学挑战。几个基本障碍阻碍了实用量子计算机的方式，包括开发利用量子计算机来减少通用计算任务的复杂性的算法，目前以及未来可用于专业计算任务的较大量子量子技术的使用，以及对量子的量化量的较大量子，而无需量化量的量化量，并适应了量子的范围。为了应对这些挑战，该研究所动员了一个科学家和工程师的跨学科团队，其中包括物理，计算机科学，化学，数学，电气工程和材料研究专家。关于当前和未来量子计算技术的量子算法的理论研究将通过原子，分子和基于光学的量子计算测试台的实验开发来激励和测试。该研究所还将通过广泛的教育和劳动力发展计划在全国范围内促进量子科学技术的发展；研究协调和合作伙伴活动将来自学术界，工业，政府实验室和其他财团的利益相关者融合在一起；并通过西蒙斯计算机研究所和纯粹和应用数学研究所与计算机和数学科学社区的有影响力的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
