Quantum computing and communication technologies have the potential to change society in profound ways by enabling solutions to computational problems inaccessible using conventional paradigms. However, the technical challenges are daunting. Global Quantum Leap (GQL) establishes an international network of networks on the shared vision that the quantum revolution will require fundamental changes in nano-manufacturing infrastructure, and that developing this infrastructure will require worldwide collaboration and coordination. GQL will link nano-manufacturing and quantum networks to advance the scientific knowledge required to realize manufacturable quantum technologies. This AccelNet project will create strategic alliances between the National Nano Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) and international networks working on quantum information sciences. Initial partner networks include Nanoplatform Japan, Matter and Light for Quantum Computing (ML4Q, a Cluster of Excellence supported by the German Research Foundation), European OpenSuperQ, and the Chicago Quantum Exchange. By linking these networks, GQL will lay the foundation to develop a globally-aware workforce that can shape future innovations in quantum technology and will fundamentally influence the overall trajectory for quantum manufacturing development. It will also prepare a new generation of technical leaders to take on highly complex projects requiring international coordination. Such outreach will ensure that GQL has extensive societal impact, by exposing the widest range of communities to the capabilities and potential of quantum technology. The GQL network partnerships will bridge fundamental knowledge gaps between the nanomanufacturing and quantum information communities, including fundamental process, materials, and integration challenges. GQL will engage with domestic and international partners toward three main goals: (1) to create linkages between the nanofabrication and quantum information science communities on a global scale, (2) to facilitate the creation of a technology roadmap for emerging quantum computing systems, and (3) to equip students, postdoctoral scholars, and early-career researchers with skills to collaborate with international, interdisciplinary teams that will tackle challenges related to quantum computing systems. A series of meetings, workshops, structured and individual research exchanges, educational bootcamps, and industry interactions will be designed to bridge the existing knowledge gaps. Students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty will also develop increased communication and teamwork skills and learn effective strategies for intercultural interactions on large-scale technical projects. The knowledge advances of quantum manufacturing issues will have broad applications. The learning developed in GQL will be transferred to the NNCI network in the form of new equipment and processes that can be utilized by the academic and industrial quantum community. The Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network Collaborations (AccelNet) program is designed to accelerate the process of scientific discovery and prepare the next generation of U.S. researchers for multiteam international collaborations. The AccelNet program supports strategic linkages among U.S. research networks and complementary networks abroad that will leverage research and educational resources to tackle grand scientific challenges that require significant coordinated international efforts.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.

量子计算和通信技术有可能通过使用常规范式来解决无法访问的计算问题的解决方案来改变社会。但是，技术挑战令人生畏。 Global Quantum Leap（GQL）建立了一个国际网络网络，该网络是关于量子革命将需要纳米制造基础架构的根本变化的共同愿景，并且开发此基础架构将需要全球合作和协调。 GQL将链接纳米制造和量子网络，以促进实现可制造量子技术所需的科学知识。这个Accelnet项目将在国家纳米协调基础设施（NNCI）和致力于量子信息科学的国际网络之间建立战略联盟。最初的合作伙伴网络包括日本纳米板的量子和光量子计算（ML4Q，德国研究基金会支持的卓越群），欧洲Opensuperq和芝加哥量子交易所。通过将这些网络联系起来，GQL将奠定基础，以开发全球感知的劳动力，该劳动力可以塑造量子技术的未来创新，并从根本上影响量子制造开发的整体轨迹。它还将准备新一代技术领导者，以进行需要国际协调的高度复杂的项目。这样的外展将通过将最广泛的社区范围暴露于量子技术的能力和潜力来确保GQL具有广泛的社会影响。 GQL网络合作伙伴关系将弥合纳米制造和量子信息社区之间的基本知识差距，包括基本过程，材料和整合挑战。 GQL will engage with domestic and international partners toward three main goals: (1) to create linkages between the nanofabrication and quantum information science communities on a global scale, (2) to facilitate the creation of a technology roadmap for emerging quantum computing systems, and (3) to equip students, postdoctoral scholars, and early-career researchers with skills to collaborate with international, interdisciplinary teams that will tackle challenges related to quantum计算系统。将设计一系列会议，研讨会，结构化和个人研究交流，教育训练营和行业互动，以弥合现有的知识差距。学生，博士后学者和教职员工还将发展提高的沟通和团队合作能力，并学习有效的大规模技术项目跨文化互动策略。量子制造问题的知识进步将具有广泛的应用。 GQL中开发的学习将以新的设备和流程的形式转移到NNCI网络，这些设备和流程可以由学术和工业量子社区使用。通过国际网络到网络合作（ACCELNET）计划进行加速研究旨在加速科学发现的过程，并为下一代美国研究人员做好了多次国际合作的准备。 Accelnet计划支持美国研究网络和国外互补网络之间的战略联系，这些联系将利用研究和教育资源来应对需要重大协调的国际努力的宏伟科学挑战。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并认为通过使用该基金会的智力和更广泛的影响来评估CRITERIA的评估。
