Establishment of the National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee

A Notice by the Energy Department on 09/11/2019

AGENCY:
Office of Science, Department of Energy.

ACTION:
Notice; solicitation of nominations.

SUMMARY:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) or (the Department) announces the establishment of the National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee (Committee), pursuant to, the National Quantum Initiative Act, and in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as delegated to the Department by the President under Executive Order 13885. The Committee will provide advice and recommendations to the President, Secretary of Energy, and the National Science and Technology Council's Subcommittee on Quantum Information Science (SCQIS) on the National Quantum Initiative (NQI). This advice will include assessments of trends and developments in quantum information science and technology (QIST), implementation and management of the NQI, whether NQI activities are helping to maintain United States leadership in QIST, whether program revisions are necessary, what opportunities exist for international collaboration and open standards, and whether national security and economic considerations are adequately addressed by the NQI. The Secretary of Energy is requesting nominations for membership to the Committee. The Secretary of Energy, with input from the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy or the Director's designee (as co-chair of the Committee), will consider nominations received in response to this notice.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. The National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee
Quantum information science (QIS) has the opportunity to revolutionize our scientific knowledge, improve our industrial base, and provide substantial economic and national security benefits. Many recognize that QIS technologies will likely underpin almost every aspect of technology two decades from now, as can be seen by the strong increase in industrial investment from both established firms and a host of new startups.

This base science and technology matters. Think to the impact of atomic clocks, an early quantum technology, on enabling the Global Positioning System and modern telecommunications. We are witnessing a second information technology (IT) revolution with quantum devices enabling previously undreamt of possibilities. Fundamentally, new technologies of this nature can come to underpin significant aspects of the national economic and defense ecosystem.

The National Quantum Initiative Act calls for the establishment of a whole-of-Government approach to QIST research and development—the NQI. This effort will leverage the leadership position of the United States in this area to expand our global edge in the face of increasing international and multinational pressure. This notice announces the establishment, as required by Statute, of the Committee to advise the President and the SCQIS on the direction and implementation of the NQI. One of the Committee's activities will be to provide biennial reports on the NQI to ensure that recommendations for improvements and changes are developed and promulgated on a regular basis, enabling research on the cutting edge of scientific discovery, the next generation workforce, the next generation industry, international collaboration, and economic and national security.

Unless otherwise extended, the Committee will terminate December 21, 2030, 11 years after the date of the NQIA signing, according to the exception to section 14 of the FACA in the NQIA. The Department of Energy shall provide the Committee with funding and administrative support as may be necessary for the performance of the Committee's functions.

Portland Mayor: Let Rioting ‘Burn Itself Out’

Portland mayor Ted Wheeler (D.)—who has yet to provide his police department with consistent directives to quell the riots, arson, and looting that have plagued his city for months—told Oregon Public Radio his strategy was to let the violence "burn itself out."

Wheeler told OPR reporter Rebecca Ellis last week that he expects daily protests in the city—which began in May following the death of George Floyd—to last for some time. He said he expects nightly violence that followed the protests "will ultimately burn itself out."

The mayor, who is in charge of Portland's police force, told OPR the department will adjust to the situation on its own.

"They’ve tried everything from not showing up to preemptively dispersing crowds, and some of those strategies, in my opinion, have worked well. Others have not worked well," Wheeler said. "My expectation is the police bureau will evolve, and as they see a need for change, they’ll change."

Wheeler previously proposed to top aides a "high-risk" policing approach in which police would be ordered to stand down and not respond to rioters. He never put those measures into effect, leaving local police without clear directives in dealing with crowds, whether they are rioting, looting businesses, or setting fire to government buildings.

Neal Cavuto has carly fiorina on who claims she's voting for biden. Man, some plastic surgeon out there is screaming for his/her staff to come see the tv and how great his/her work is.

It seems this election fox is trying to not get POTUS elected. Just by the way they presented the convention so far. CSPAN has just shown the convention, without comment until the night is over when they put up their call numbers and talk with viewers.
