U.S. Women of Quantum Computing Go Big

In the Computational Chemistry, Materials, and Climate (CCMC) Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), the future of quantum information science is being driven in part by a group of women scientists who see that future — and theirs along with it — as quite bright. Early in their careers and coming from a variety of academic fields, these women comprise more than half of the postdoctoral researchers in the group, a rarity in computing science. But if they have their way, gender parity in their field won’t be an oddity much longer.

Quantum Computing. Next Step Between WWII Allies?

Signs are promising that quantum computing will get here. Potential military uses are numerous and growing as more minds take on quantum information science. How have the Five Eyes nations – U.S., Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia – tackled complex military issues in the past? Is now the right time to circle the wagons as has been done throughout modern history?
