Engineering Tomorrow’s Quantum Computers
Researchers have touted the revolutionary potential of quantum computers to take on otherwise intractable challenges, like modeling complex molecular behavior for drug discovery or factoring enormous numbers in use for cryptography schemes. But how such a computer would be created remains unclear. APL is supporting an effort to define, in practical terms, what a useful quantum computer looks like and how it must be built.
Game-Changing Impact
We solve complex research, engineering, and analytical problems that present critical challenges to our nation.
By combining creativity and technical expertise with a culture of risk-taking, we tackle increasingly difficult challenges with impacts across multiple domains.
Chief Scientist, Additive ManufacturingA unique aspect of working at APL is the ability to leverage technology from seemingly unrelated areas. For example, we can take knowledge we apply to missile defense—responding to measurement inputs very quickly and making adjustments even faster—and apply it to additive manufacturing.
