Program Timeline Recap
FY2018: HEP competed QuantISED in FY18 via FOA and Lab Call

Labs funded in FY18 also submitted renewal proposals for FY20
Some Pioneering Pilot researchers joined consortia proposals
QuantISED FY20 renewals are currently in process and will be announced later
FY2021: We expect renewal proposals from some of the Lab programs started in FY19
SC open call – to be available in FY21 for universities – more in Fall 2020

QuantISED : Opportunities for ‘Small’ Experiments ?
QuantISED PIs (Topics D &E) met via Zoom on May 26, 2020 to discuss possible ‘small’
experiments based on quantum sensors under the QuantISED program.
Convened based on a charge letter from the DOE to Kent Irwin and Joe Lykken
Topics of discussion (based on the charge) included:
New opportunities for HEP science enabled by the second quantum revolution
(Quantum 2.0)
The desire for balance between achieving HEP science results and quantum
technology demonstrations
Quantum technology most relevant to HEP/QIS science opportunities
Lab-academia collaboration models for small experiments
Opportunities for interaction with other parts of SC
(Draft report to be circulated to participants
soon) 16

“The ghost in the radiation”: encoding the black hole interiorI. Kim, E. Tang, J. Preskill, JHEP 2020 [HEP-DOD Connection]
Hawking radiation from partially evaporated black hole is plausibly pseudorandom –indistinguishable from thermal to observers with reasonable computational power.
This means that the interior of the black hole can be encoded in the radiation yet is nevertheless inaccessible in practice from outside the black hole.

infallingmatter
This observation eases the firewall problem: the “late” radiation can be entangled with both (1) the black hole and (2) the “early” radiation, because (1) is encoded in (2).
QIS → HEP: Principles of computational complexity and quantum error correction are needed to understand what’s inside a black hole. The lesson is that for local effective field theory to apply, a process should have not only low energy and low curvature but also low computational complexity.
HEP → QIS: The firewall problem stimulates the construction of new families of quantum codes protecting against nonstandard noise models. These may have other applications. 18
Some more recent successes….
HEP Quantum Information Science Enabled Discovery (QuantISED) funded research at Fermilab has
achieved breakthrough success in demonstrating unprecedented coherence times of seconds, (several
orders of magnitude higher than previous QIS records of milliseconds) in transforming SRF cavities to full
quantum regimes of ultralow temperatures and single photon field levels. This represents a key scientific
achievement as well as high impact for QIS technology. The results have been published:
A. Romanenko et al, Phys. Rev. Applied 13, 034032 (2020).
