Non-technical description: This work will lead to creation of “Quantum Noir”, a biennial Quantum, Nanoscience and Engineering conference targeted at researchers from groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM. The primary goals of the meeting are to educate participants of the scope and potential of Quantum Science and Engineering, illuminate scientific opportunities nationwide, and to network researchers from under-represented groups, connecting participants “collaboratively” with leaders in the Quantum Science and Engineering Community, focused on new technologies, national policy, and workforce training. The conference serves as a training and recruiting event for faculty, researchers, and students from under-represented groups into the Quantum Sciences. The ongoing revolution in Quantum Information, Quantum, Sensing, and Quantum Networking is a national challenge we must meet with all our resources, human and otherwise. With this support, Quantum Noir will help bridge this critical resource gap.Technical description: We are witnessing the emergence of Quantum Science & Engineering, a technology disruption as significant as the revolution in microelectronics. The ascent of this new discipline demands we rally the nation’s scientific community to address this opportunity. Much of the foundation of this work is based in condensed matter science and engineering where historically, there has been a barrier of entry for researchers of color, particularly at small and minority serving institutions, due to limited access to the extensive infrastructure and resources required to do world-class work. The conference will serve as an important workforce training and development event by enabling technology dissemination of the “state-of-the-art” from Quantum Engineering leaders, directly to a new generation of diverse researchers. The conference will create a collaborative nexus for researchers and students and will allow industry and the venture community access to an untapped source of innovators. The first meeting will be at Harvard University hosted in part by the Harvard Center for Nanoscale Systems (CNS). Quantum Noir will leverage the community expertise to truly diversify Quantum science, but also to build community, ensuring we are optimizing the nation’s talent and human resources available by connecting all researchers with the available infrastructure, resources, and training.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.

非技术描述：这项工作将导致创建“Quantum Noir”，这是一个两年一度的量子、纳米科学和工程会议，会议的主要目标是让参与者了解目标范围和潜力。量子科学与工程的，阐明全国范围内的科学机会，并与来自代表性不足群体的研究人员建立联系，将参与者与量子科学与工程界的领导者“协作”联系起来，重点关注新技术、国家政策和劳动力该会议是针对量子科学领域中代表性不足的群体的教师、研究人员和学生的培训和招聘活动。量子信息、量子、传感和量子网络领域正在进行的革命是我们必须应对的一项全国性挑战。凭借我们所有的资源，包括人力和其他资源，Quantum Noir 将帮助弥合这一关键的资源缺口。技术描述：我们正在见证量子科学与工程的出现，这是一场与量子革命同等重要的技术颠覆。微电子学这一新学科的崛起要求我们团结全国科学界来抓住这一机会，这项工作的大部分基础都是基于凝聚态科学和工程学，而历史上，有色人种的研究人员一直存在进入障碍。特别是在小型和少数族裔服务机构中，由于获得开展世界一流工作所需的广泛基础设施和资源的机会有限，该会议将通过传播“最新状况”的技术，成为一次重要的劳动力培训和发展活动。量子状态“艺术”会议将为研究人员和学生建立合作关系，并让行业和风险投资界接触到尚未开发的创新者资源。第一次会议将在哈佛大学举行。由哈佛大学纳米级系统中心 (CNS) 开发的项目将利用社区的专业知识来真正实现量子科学的多样化，同时也建立社区，确保我们通过将所有研究人员与可用的人才和人力资源联系起来，优化国家的可用人才和人力资源。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进行评估，被认为值得支持。
