The Center for Quantum Technologies (CQT) is a partnership between Purdue University, Indiana University (Bloomington and Indiana University Purdue University - Indianapolis Campuses), and the University of Notre Dame. The mission of the CQT is to collaborate with industry and government stakeholders to identify compelling needs and challenges in quantum technologies, and then develop novel solutions to address these opportunities. Quantum technologies are governed by the physics of sub-atomic particles and have relevance to computing, sensing, imaging, metrology, communications, and cryptography. Because of their wide-ranging applicability, quantum technologies have the potential to be transformative, with uses in intelligence, financial security, computing, medicine, and navigation. Society has entered the second quantum revolution, but it is still in its infancy, and the nascent quantum industry requires significant fundamental research to mature novel technologies. In partnership with industrial members, the CQT researchers will use their expertise in quantum science and engineering to develop and transfer foundational knowledge into industry-friendly quantum devices, systems, and algorithms with enhanced functionality and performance. Additionally, the CQT will help train the next generation of quantum scientists and engineers to support the development of a critically needed quantum workforce. Students will not only conduct Center research, but also help writing project reports, present at biannual meetings, and interact with industry and government members. Finally, the CQT will leverage established programs at each of the four universities to engage and support students traditionally underrepresented in STEM disciplines. As one of the Center sites, the University of Notre Dame will leverage its existing Centers and industrial relationships to drive quantum research in the areas of advanced materials and devices, quantum simulations of physical phenomena such as spin chemistry, quantum algorithms for data sciences and machine learning, and high-performance computing systems architectures. For example, the ASCENT Center is a consortium of 13 universities led by Notre Dame, with a goal to provide breakthrough advances in integrated nanoelectronics, with devices based on quantum effects. The QCLab (Quantum Computing Laboratory) has the mission to serve as an internationally-recognized, multidisciplinary quantum computing hub, based upon accelerating discovery through effective and novel applications of quantum computing algorithms, software tools, and devices. Also, the CNDS (Center for Network and Data Science) was founded to generate fundamental and transformative advances in AI, Network, and Data Science, and can serve as both motivating cases for quantum applications and sources of data for driving quantum codes. In addition, multi-year research by multiple faculty have gained internationally recognized expertise in the relationship between very high-performance computing architectures, emerging technologies, emerging applications areas (such as machine learning), and tools to support efficient execution of highly parallel algorithms. Notre Dame also supports a broad effort in Workforce Development. The Center for STEM Education is part of a long-running Notre Dame effort to advance the teaching and learning of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The Center for Civic Innovation has as a vision to create a virtuous cycle wherein faculty and students analyze challenging problems and develop co-creation of knowledge among a broad network of partners. Finally, iNDustry Labs is the Notre Dame component of the LIFT (Labs for Industry Futures and Transformation) network that was launched with a $42M grant from the Lilly Endowment, with a charter to enhance skill attainment, research, commercialization, and innovation across the South Bend - Elkhart Region.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.

量子技术中心（CQT）是普渡大学，印第安纳大学（布卢明顿和印第安纳大学普渡大学 - 印第安纳波利斯校园）和巴黎圣母院之间的合作伙伴关系。 CQT的使命是与行业和政府利益相关者合作，以确定量子技术的诱人需求和挑战，然后开发新的解决方案来解决这些机会。量子技术受亚原子颗粒的物理学的控制，与计算，传感，成像，计量，通信和密码学具有相关性。由于其广泛的适用性，量子技术有可能具有变革性，并在智能，财务安全，计算，医学和导航中使用。社会进入了第二次量子革命，但仍处于起步阶段，新生的量子行业需要大量的基本研究才能进行成熟的新技术。与工业成员合作，CQT研究人员将利用其量子科学和工程方面的专业知识来开发和将基础知识发展为行业友好的量子设备，系统和算法，并具有增强的功能和性能。此外，CQT将帮助培训下一代量子科学家和工程师，以支持急需的量子劳动力的发展。学生不仅将进行中心研究，而且还将帮助编写在双年度会议上的项目报告，并与行业和政府成员互动。最后，CQT将利用四所大学中的每所大学的既定计划来吸引和支持STEM学科中代表性不足的学生。 作为中心站点之一，巴黎圣母院将利用其现有的中心和工业关系来推动高级材料和设备领域的量子研究，诸如自旋化学，数据科学和机器学习的量子算法等物理现象的量子模拟，以及高性能计算系统体系结构。例如，上升中心是由巴黎圣母院（Notre Dame）领导的13所大学的联盟，其目标是为综合纳米电子学方面的突破性进步，并基于量子效应提供设备。 QCLAB（量子计算实验室）的使命是通过通过有效和新颖的量子计算算法，软件工具和设备的有效和新颖的应用来加速发现，这是一种国际认可的多学科量子计算集线器。此外，建立了CND（网络和数据科学中心），以在AI，网络和数据科学中产生基本和变革性的进步，并可以作为量子应用程序的激励案例，也可以作为用于驱动量子代码的数据源。此外，多个教师的多年研究在非常高性能的计算体系结构，新兴技术，新兴应用领域（例如机器学习）和工具方面获得了国际认可的专业知识，以支持有效执行高度平行的算法。巴黎圣母院还支持劳动力发展的广泛努力。 STEM教育中心是长期运行的巴黎圣母院（Notre Dame）的一部分，旨在推进科学，技术，工程和数学的教学。公民创新中心的愿景是创建一个良性周期的愿景，教师和学生分析挑战性问题，并在广泛的合作伙伴网络之间发展知识。 Finally, iNDustry Labs is the Notre Dame component of the LIFT (Labs for Industry Futures and Transformation) network that was launched with a $42M grant from the Lilly Endowment, with a charter to enhance skill attainment, research, commercialization, and innovation across the South Bend - Elkhart Region.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审查标准。
