ASCET supports private sector-driven engagement and capacity building by fostering collaboration across industry\, academia\, standards setting organizations\, and government\, among other stakeholders. ASCET was formed under a cooperative agreement between ASTM International and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). ASCET’s mission\, as it relates to quantum technologies\, is to: a) broaden and diversify U.S. stakeholder participation in quantum standardization; b) cultivate a new generation of quantum subject matter experts who participate in standards; c) support U.S. private sector priorities through training\, tools\, and targeted initiatives; and d) accelerate the development and implementation of impactful\, industry-driven\, international quantum standards. \nThe goals of this session are not only to introduce ASCET and its objectives to you but also to communicate the urgency of quantum standardization for U.S. based organizations and industry professionals at this juncture in quantum’s growth. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speaker:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n James H.

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 promise 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 and government 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 not only conduct research\, but also help writing project reports\, present at biannual meetings\, and interact with industry and government members. This talk will give an overview of the IUCRC model along with the CQT mission\, vision and research themes. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speaker:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dr. David J.
