Quantum Information Science

The LBNL QuantISED Quest program has two complementary thrusts:

To use QIS advances to develop next-generation experimental technology, including quantum measurement theory and new device development. This work has close connections to the LBNL Molecular Foundry for materials theory, synthesis, and analysis. The main particle physics motivation is detection of weakly coupled particles and fields, such as low mass dark matter candidates.

To develop a toolkit for high energy physics field theory calculations and simulations on quantum computers. This work has close connections to the LBNL Advanced Quantum Testbed and Quantum Systems Accelerator. The main particle physics motivation for this thrust is the precise calculation/simulation of multi-particle non-perturbative processes, essential for higher precision collider experiments.
