Sandia National Laboratories currently has 27 COVID-related Laboratory Directed Research & Development (LDRD) projects focused on helping the nation during the pandemic. These LDRD projects cross many disciplines including bioscience, computing & information sciences, engineering science, materials science, nanodevices & microsystems, and radiation effects & high energy density science.
The most complex challenges facing the world today comprise the work of [Department of Energy’s] (DOE’s) 17 National Laboratories: [...] From furthering U.S. energy independence and leadership in clean technologies; to promoting innovation that advances U.S. economic competitiveness; to conducting research of the highest caliber in the physical, chemical, biological, materials, computational, and information sciences to advance understanding of the world around us-the Laboratories’ purview is expansive and further their contributions are indispensable.
“How much information about a system S can one extract from a fragment F of the environment E that decohered it?” is the central question of Quantum Darwinism. To date, most answers relied on the quantum mutual information of SF, or on the Holevo bound on the channel capacity of F to communicate the classical information encoded in S. Furthermore, these are reasonable upper bounds on what is really needed but much harder to calculate—the accessible information in the fragment F about S. We consider a model based on imperfect c-not gates where all the above can be computed, and discuss its implications for the emergence of objective classical reality. We find that all relevant quantities, such as the quantum mutual information as well as various bounds on the accessible information exhibit similar behavior. In the regime relevant for the emergence of objective classical reality this includes scaling independent of the quality of the imperfect c-not gates or the size of E, and even nearly independent of the initial state of S.

The evolution with a complex Hamiltonian generally leads to information scrambling. A time-reversed dynamics unwinds this scrambling and thus leads to the original information recovery. In this work, we show that if the scrambled information is, in addition, partially damaged by a local measurement, then such a damage can still be treated by application of the time-reversed protocol. This information recovery is described by the long-time saturation value of a certain out-of-time-ordered correlator of local variables. We also propose a simple test that distinguishes between quantum and reversible classical chaotic information scrambling.
Quantum computing, sensing, and communications are emerging technologies that may circumvent known limitations of their existing traditional counterparts. While the promises of these technologies are currently narrow in scope, it is possible that they will broadly impact our lives by revolutionizing the capabilities of data centers and medical diagnostics, for example. At the heart of these technologies is the use of a quantum object to contain information, called a quantum bit or qubit. Current realizations of qubits exist in a broad variety of material systems, including individual spins in semiconductors or insulators, superconducting circuits, and trapped ions. Further advancement of qubits requires significant contributions from materials science in areas of materials selection, synthesis, fabrication, simulation and characterization. In this paper, we discuss some of the needs and opportunities for contributions to advance the fundamental understanding of materials used in quantum information applications.
