Quantum computing promises a platform for efficiently solving certain types problems thought to be intractable for traditional computers. The number of qubits needed to be competitive with classical computers varies dramatically depending on the problem. This project seeks to determine the maximum quantum operation rate for a given cooling capacity.
Developing a ground-based, quantum-secured, authenticated time distribution system for the energy grid.
