A Request for Information (RFI) has been sent out by the Department of Energy’s Quantum Computing User Program (QCUP) to get feedback on how to help quantum computing progress. An announcement from Oak Ridge National Laboratory said that the goal of the effort is to get information from scientists, vendors, and other interested parties about how quantum computing resources are doing now and what they could do in the future.
By giving researchers cloud-based access, the QCUP, which is part of the Oak Ridge Leadership computer Facility (OLCF), closes the important gap between quantum computer resources and researchers. “The RFI’s goal is to get feedback on quantum computing resources and find out if those resources are ready for research in quantum computing,” said Travis Humble, director of QCUP at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A wide range of users are being asked for their opinions on the availability of resources, performance measures, and strategies for getting people involved in the community.
Anyone who is interested is asked to send in answers that talk about the technical parts of the current gear and software for quantum computing. They are also asked to come up with ways to get more people involved in the area of quantum computing. These answers will help the Department of Energy figure out how to make quantum computing tools more available in the future.
It is important for users and industry partners to be involved with QCUP’s work. Because of this, the information sent in RFI responses will be kept secret. People who need them can get nondisclosure agreements by asking for them. The announcement also lists the things that respondents will be asked about, such as how well they can manage resources and keep track of usage data.
QCUP is a part of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. UT-Battelle runs Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the Office of Science in the Department of Energy. This office is the main federal agency in the U.S. that funds physical sciences study, with the goal of making science better in many areas. If you want to help with quantum computing research, you can read about the RFI process on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory website and reply to it.
