Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

NAS Quantum Computing: Progress and Prospects — Report Release Webinar

November 29th, 2018 / in Announcements, CCC / by Helen Wright

What are the risks and benefits of quantum computing? What technical challenges does the field face?

The National Academies’ Computer Science and Telecommunications Board in collaboration with the Intelligence Community Studies Board will release an upcoming report called Quantum Computing: Progress and Prospects, which assesses the current progress and possible future pathways towards developing a general-purpose quantum computer as well as its potential implications.

They invite you to join them for a report release webinar on December 4, 2018 at 1:00pm EST where study committee chair Mark Horowitz and committee members Bob Blakley and John Martinis will discuss the key findings of the report and take questions from the audience.

Please join the webinar here (password: quantum).

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) has also recently released a workshop report from the May 2018 workshop Next Steps in Quantum Computing: Computer Science’s Role. The report highlights how computer scientists can contribute to advances in quantum computing and identifies key trends and research needs in five areas: algorithms, devices, architecture, programming models and toolchains, and verification. You can read the full workshop report here.
