Co-Design

The QSC integrates research across its three thrusts to establish co-design approaches for scalable and coherent quantum information systems. This integration drives interactions between the specific aims of each thrust and establishes a co-design feedback loop. The industrial “pull” for new technologies in quantum simulation and quantum sensing in turn drives this co-design process and provides a direct path to connect these technologies to the marketplace.
