Summary
The Computing Research Association (CRA) will establish Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Quantum Information Science (DREU-QIS), a nationally coordinated program that provides undergraduate students mentored undergraduate research experiences in quantum computing. Quantum information science is emerging as a strategically important area of computing that is expected to transform fields such as materials discovery, optimization, and secure communication. Sustained national leadership in this area requires a pipeline of innovators who can develop quantum algorithms and thei
