TC25 - Quantum Measurement and Quantum Information - Aims

 Scope:

The aim of this TC is to provide a forum to discuss advances in quantum-based measurement, the quantum technologies they support, and the changes they imply for the international metrology infrastructure and for applications. Topics include:

  • Latest trends and best practices in quantum-based measurements across multiple disciplines
  • How quantum technology in combination with the redefinition of the SI is changing the face of the realization and dissemination of measurement standards and services
  • Readiness of various quantum measurement technologies and prospects for future standardization
  • Connection between quantum information and quantum metrology, such as the use of quantum states for measurement
  • Identification and communication of technical advances and novel applications that are made possible by quantum enhanced metrology, including the discussion of use cases, and examples and limitations of quantum technology
  • Creating a foundation for international acceptance and mutual recognition of field-deployable and chip-scale quantum-based standards

 Expected results:

  • Articulation of the role of quantum technologies for the realization and dissemination of standards
  • Recommendations for:
    • The modernization of the international metrology infrastructure to accommodate quantum-based standards
    • The international acceptance of chip-scale quantum standards
    • Lowering the barriers to the adoption of quantum standards and technologies by NMIs in emerging countries
  • A forum for the metrology community, industry, and academia to facilitate:
    • Advancing quantum technologies through precision measurements and standards
    • Using novel quantum measurement techniques in applications
    • Developing benchmarks and modes of intercomparison for quantum technologies
    • Instilling confidence in quantum standards and technologies, and promoting their adoption and commercialization by industry
