Topics
The push towards quantum-enabled systems has illuminated a number of emerging supply-chain issues. Quantum systems typically connect quantum phenomena with systems of device components. Most demonstrations of these phenomena occur in the academic sphere, however it remains to be seen where leading production systems will be developed. However, much of the current expertise in critical materials and components is found offshore. The development of assured domestic sources of materials, manufacturing capabilities, and expertise is critical. Current technology trends and the collective needs and concerns of the DoD-stakeholder materials and manufacturing community are addressed during this workshop.
Description
Workshop Description:
What does quantum computing bring to new materials design?
This workshop will address the fundamental differences in quantum computing from today’s algorithms, the principles that might be used to develop future algorithms suited to materials engineering, expected gains in computational speed and efficiency, and what topics might be attempted to be analyzed first.
Overall Project Statement of Task:
Five ad hoc committees will convene a series of five 2-day public workshops to discuss issues in defense materials and manufacturing. The topics to be discussed in these workshops are the following:
- Domestic Manufacturing Capabilities for Critical DoD Applications: Emerging Needs in Quantum-Enabled Systems;
- What Does Quantum Exploration Bring to New Materials Design;
- Topology Optimization in Design: Exploiting Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities;
- Data Analytics and what it Means to the Materials Community; and
- What's Next After Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS).
For the ad hoc committee for each workshop, the Defense Materials, Manufacturing, and Infrastructure (DMMI) standing committee will contribute its most suitable members for that topic, with the ad hoc committee's membership to be supplemented to provide the necessary expertise to plan and conduct the workshop. Each ad hoc committee will then develop the agenda for the workshop, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. The workshops will use a mix of individual presentations, panels, and question-and-answer sessions to develop an understanding of the relevant issues. The workshop will highlight some recent developments in applicable research fields. Key stakeholders will be identified and invited to participate. Workshop summaries will be prepared separately by a designated rapporteur after each workshop in this series.
