NAS report suggests a 10 year roadmap for quantum physics research
Stanford Report: Science now stands at the edge of not only finally understanding the principles of quantum mechanics but utilizing those principles to benefit humankind, according to a report issued Monday by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Authored by a panel of top U.S. physicists, the report, titled AMO2010: Controlling the Quantum World, puts forth a vision for America's research future in the cutting-edge field of atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) science. The study details priorities for deepening our understanding of quantum mechanics and exploiting those findings.
