Hyperion is a software system for static analysis of compiled software, enabling the detection of undesirable behavior or the demonstration of correct behavior.
ORNL is developing quantum information tools to help secure the electric grid. Researchers are working to extend the range and reduce the cost of quantum key distribution.
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.
The Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification (VVUQ) for machine learning project identified processes and techniques to conduct VVUQ on machine learning applications.
Nonlinear interferometers, which use parametric amplifiers in place of beam splitters, can improve the signal to noise ratio of interferometric sensors by a factor of twice the power gain. Recently ORNL has realized a novel, inherently stable, nonlinear interferometer using nonlinear rubidium (Rb) vapor. This approach reduces the complexity and the size, weight and power requirements (SWAP) of earlier demonstrations. However, it is still constructed using bulk, free-space optics on a lab table. This project seeks to realize a reduced SWAP further and perform measurements to quantify its performance relative to other approaches.
We propose an entirely new experimental photonic qubit interface which will enable quantum connections between common material qubits such as ions or atoms.
Localized electron emission from nanostructures can be achieved with the aid of excitation of plasmons with short optical pulses.
