论文摘要
第二次量子革命建立在物理与信息科学交集的基础研究的基础上，从而产生了我们现在称为量子信息科学（QIS）的学科。对新知识和理解的追求推动了新的实验工具和严格的理论的开发，该理论定义了第二波量子技术的路线图，包括量子计算机，量子增强传感器和通信系统。随着技术的成熟，开发和商业化近期应用程序的竞赛已经加速。在当前嘈杂的中等规模量子（NISQ）设备的状态中，基础研究的持续必要性很明显。在什么条件下，我们可以真正利用量子复杂性，以及它对潜在有用应用的影响？这些问题在很大程度上尚未得到答案，随着质量行业的加剧，基础科学和技术之间的持续反馈至关重要。从这个角度来看，我回顾了好奇心驱动的研究如何导致根本的新技术，以及为什么寻求基本理解对于进一步的进步至关重要。
The second quantum revolution has been built on a foundation of fundamental research at the intersection of physics and information science, giving rise to the discipline we now call Quantum Information Science (QIS). The quest for new knowledge and understanding drove the development of new experimental tools and rigorous theory, which defined the roadmap for second-wave quantum technologies, including quantum computers, quantum-enhanced sensors, and communication systems. As technology has matured, the race to develop and commercialize near-term applications has accelerated. In the current regime of Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices, the continued necessity of basic research is manifest. Under what conditions can we truly harness quantum complexity and what are its implications for potential useful applications? These questions remain largely unanswered, and as the QIS industry ramps up, a continuous feedback between basic science and technology is essential. In this Perspective I review how curiosity-driven research led to radical new technologies and why the quest for basic understanding is essential for further progress.
