With support from the Division of Chemistry, Professor Greg Scholes at Princeton University, along with a team of US researchers, and partners in the United Kingdom, is co-organizing a bilateral workshop to discuss research challenges and open scientific questions at the interface between chemistry and quantum information science (QIS). Advancements in QIS hold promise for many new technologies, including secure quantum communication, quantum computing, and quantum sensors that provide fundamentally new ways of measuring physical and chemical properties. While there has been progress in the development of these technologies in recent years, many fundamental questions surrounding the principles that underpin QIS (e.g., entanglement, coherence, squeezing, etc.) remain. Chemists are uniquely positioned to address these challenges and provide new ways of harnessing these fundamental processes. The workshop will bring together researchers from the US and UK to explore ways in which chemical systems could serve as platforms for studying QIS phenomena and quantum correlations, as well as how those phenomena could be used to gain new insight into molecular behavior, and it will identify opportunities for scientific partnerships between researchers in the two Nations. Through a series of carefully organized breakout sessions, participants will explore ideas for: 1) new experiments enabled by QIS and new experimental methodologies that give insight into QIS phenomena; 2) the potential for QIS phenomena to affect chemical reactivity; as well as 3) the detection and quantification of quantum correlations. The workshop outcomes will be described in a public report meant to guide the chemistry community in QIS research.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.

在化学系的支持下，普林斯顿大学的格雷格·斯科尔斯教授与美国研究人员团队和英国的合作伙伴共同组织了一次双边研讨会，讨论化学与化学之间的交叉点的研究挑战和开放科学问题。和量子信息科学（QIS）。 QIS 的进步为许多新技术带来了希望，包括安全量子通信、量子计算和量子传感器，它们提供了测量物理和化学特性的全新方法。尽管近年来这些技术的发展取得了进展，但围绕支撑 QIS 的原理（例如纠缠、相干性、挤压等）的许多基本问题仍然存在。化学家具有独特的优势来应对这些挑战并提供利用这些基本过程的新方法。该研讨会将汇集来自美国和英国的研究人员，探讨如何将化学系统作为研究 QIS 现象和量子相关性的平台，以及如何利用这些现象来获得对分子行为的新见解。确定两国研究人员之间建立科学伙伴关系的机会。通过一系列精心组织的分组会议，参与者将探讨以下想法：1）QIS 启用的新实验以及深入了解 QIS 现象的新实验方法； 2) QIS现象影响化学反应性的可能性；以及3）量子相关性的检测和量化。研讨会的成果将在一份公开报告中进行描述，旨在指导化学界进行 QIS 研究。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。
