What they work on
- Analyze the growth and impact of quantum information science using data analytics, and build a public, open-source analytics platform on the field.
- Conduct research-grade interviews and oral histories with leading scientists, and compare them with quantitative data to produce policy analyses on funding, security, governance and ethics.
- Create an open-access archive of interviews and publications addressing the policy, ethical, legal and international challenges of quantum information science.
More about the research
This project examines how quantum information science is changing science strategy and policy.
Why it matters
Policymakers, funding agencies and the public need evidence to make decisions about quantum technologies, which raise security, governance and ethical questions. The project's open analytics platform, interview archive and policy analyses could inform national science strategy and funding decisions on quantum information science.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
