"Quantum mechanics is the ultimate law of nature and when we build quantum devices we can realize efficiencies that greatly exceed any existing classical devices. Today we have robust quantum technologies that can be deployed as sensors, actuators, communication channels and small processors. The opportunity is to creatively connect such devices to important applications in a broad range of areas including medical, health, energy, security, environment, nanoscience, nondestructive testing, etc.. This fund will provide the resources to enable this."
