What does this to have to with LLNL and LANL? Why post this?

Several of these centers where just announced, today LANL is one of the core groups with Microsoft and Oak Ridge.

Microsoft is one of the five core founding members of one of the newly-formed centers, the Quantum Science Center (QSC), along with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, and Purdue University. In addition to the Quantum Science Center, Microsoft is also a partner in the Q-NEXT center, led by Argonne National Laboratory and joined by Stanford Linear Accelerator Cente

I was relieved to see that Rochester LLE didn’t get any money for this. Previously they got a $3 million quantum computing grant for the Omega laser.

One could try quantum computing with NIF. The decoherence time might a tad short but hey NIF can do anything.

Cosmic rays will kill the coherence time in any case.

Not my field but I was wondering if things like gravity waves would also induce decoherence? I would guess that there must be some kind of "sea" of residual gravity waves from the big bang that give some average level background of "gravitational noise". Sure it would be very small but could still couple to quantum system and induce some decoherence. I am sure someone has thought about this so maybe the effect is so small you could never hope to see in any realistic time frame.

Quantum gravity is the next hot thing in experimental science. Watch the labs belly up to this new trough.
