My apologies that I have been so slow in getting this to you, I had several fire drills upon my return from Stanford. Finding this person is a high priority for us (i.e. my tardiness should not be construed as this not being important). In any event, if you do know someone (U.S. citizen of course) who may fit the bill, please let me know. > Thank you very much, > Jean > > P.S. We are finalizing the success stories to reflect the recent achievements described in the review. I’ll let you know as soon as they receive the OK to be disseminated. > > The person in quantum computing that we are looking for is someone that can describe how anticipated technology innovations in quantum computer architectures, system software, and algorithms will enable new capabilities in science and engineering simulations. We will want to define and demonstrate a strong collaborative atmosphere between the disciplines/communities of various scientific computation, mathematics and algorithm development, and emerging quantum computing architectures. We are placing a strong emphasis on a collaborative environment and assembling a multidisciplinary team to solve real science and engineering problems using emerging quantum computational architectures. This person will serve as the technical lead for the effort. > > Dr. Jean-Philippe Blaudeau > High Performance Technologies Inc. > Director-Computational Applications > 304 Sparta Ct. > Bel Air, Md 21014 > Cell Phone: (614) 425-5644 > Email:jblaudeau@hpti.com > > _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip
