      "body": "Quantum physics gets attention—and brighter funding prospects—in Congress\n\nMany members of Congress admit they find quantum physics mind-boggling, with its counterintuitive account of the subatomic world. But that isn't stopping U.S. lawmakers, as well as policymakers in President Donald Trump's administration, from backing an emerging effort to better organize and boost funding for quantum research, which could reshape computing, sensors, and communications.\n\nIn the coming weeks, the science committee of the House of Representatives is expected to introduce legislation calling for a new, 10-year-long National Quantum Initiative (NQI). The White House, for its part, is scheduled to formally launch a new panel that will guide the federal government's role in quantum science. Key science agencies are calling on Congress to accelerate spending on quantum research. And the Senate supports a boost for the field: Last week, it approved a mammoth defense policy bill that includes a provision directing the Pentagon to create a new $20 million quantum science program.\n\nA yearlong push by a coalition of academic researchers and technology firms helped trigger this flurry of activity. Proponents argue the United States needs a better plan for harvesting the potential fruits of quantum research—and for keeping up with global competitors. The European Union has launched a decadelong quantum research initiative, and China is said to be investing heavily in the field. The United States is "kind of the only major country that's not doing something," says Chris Monroe, a physicist at the University of Maryland in College Park and co-founder of a startup developing quantum computers, which could outstrip conventional computers on certain problems.\n\nLast June, a small group of academics, executives, and lobbyists that includes Monroe released a white paper calling for an NQI; they issued a blueprint for the effort in April. Meanwhile, the House science committee held a hearing on the topic last October and plans to release a bill later this month that draws extensively from the blueprint.\n\n![IMG_20180624_101411_742.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPWXG6R19sDo1ME8b26Dwp7qvm7FdmWFCDCcPyUJ3XS3i/IMG_20180624_101411_742.jpg)\n\n“We must ensure that the United States does not fall behind other nations that are advancing quantum programs,” Science committee chair Lamar Smith (R–TX) said yesterday in a statement about the bill.\n\nThe legislation will authorize the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) to create new research centers at universities, federal laboratories, and nonprofit research institutes, according to a committee spokesperson. These research hubs would aim to build alliances between physicists doing fundamental research, engineers who can build devices, and computer scientists developing quantum algorithms. The centers could give academics seeking to develop commercial technologies access to expertise and expensive research tools, says physicist David Awschalom of the University of Chicago in Illinois, one of the blueprint's authors. "The research needs rapidly outpace any individual lab," he says.\n\nThe proposal "sounds really promising," says Danna Freedman, a chemist at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, who did not contribute to the proposal. But Freedman, who synthesizes materials that could be used to build new kinds of quantum computer components, says her enthusiasm "depends to what extent the government decides to prescribe the research.\n\nThe blueprint recommends that the hubs focus on three areas: developing ultraprecise quantum sensors for biomedicine, navigation, and other applications; hack-proof quantum communication; and quantum computers. The bill will likely leave it up to federal agencies, the new White House quantum panel, and an outside advisory group to determine the initiative's focus. Backers also say the effort could help advance the development of software for quantum computers—a major hurdle. Right now, just "tens or hundreds of people" can program quantum computers, says William Zeng of Rigetti Computing, a startup in Berkeley, California, seeking to build a quantum computer and offer quantum computing services. \"That's not going to be able to support building the full potential of the tech.\"\n\nIt's not yet known how much funding the House bill, which Republicans on the science panel are crafting, will recommend. The blueprint envisions channeling $800 million over 5 years to the NQI, but even if the bill endorses that figure, congressional appropriators will have the final say. Also uncertain is whether Democrats will sign on and help ensure passage through the full House, and whether the Senate will support the idea.\n\n![29837_tumb_750Xauto.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYw2HWF4amq7sXWhutBDsNsWCg31w1925Gux3boQcuUiS/29837_tumb_750Xauto.jpg)\n\nIn the meantime, lawmakers and the Trump administration are moving to shore up federal spending on quantum science, which analysts in 2016 estimated at about $200 million a year. Adding to the $20 million boost approved by the Senate (but not yet by the entire Congress), Trump's 2019 budget request would create a new $30 million \"Quantum Leap\" initiative at NSF and boost DOE's quantum research programs to $105 million.\n\nThe United States, long seen as a leader, is facing growing global competition in the quantum field, says Walter Copan, director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland, which has long played a role in quantum research. \"It is the equivalent of a space race now,\" says Copan, who met last week with Smith. Focusing federal resources on the field, Copan adds, \"has phenomenal promise for the country—if it's done right.\"\n\nGabriel Popkin\n in: EngineeringPhysicsScience and PolicyTechnology\ndoi:10.1126/science.aau4688",

      "body": "NEWS: Missile-Tracking Satellites Are Part of the Plan to Foil Russia's Hypersonic Weapons\n\nThe Pentagon is looking at the possibility of deploying sensors in space to fill blind spots in the nation's antimissile defense system.\nThis not a new idea. Six previous administrations have weighed concepts for space-based sensors but none materialized — the exception being two experimental satellites launched during the George W. Bush presidency that are still in orbit.\n\n![aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zcGFjZS5jb20vaW1hZ2VzL2kvMDAwLzA3Ni81NTQvb3JpZ2luYWwvbWlzc2lsZS1kZWZlbnNlLWFnZW5jeS1zcGFjZS10cmFja2luZy1zdXJ2ZWlsbGFuY2Utc3lzdGVtLmpwZw==.webp](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP156kxCtq6FZAazeAzyDh6V6DEqeuEcZDMoMhYt5xkXT/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zcGFjZS5jb20vaW1hZ2VzL2kvMDAwLzA3Ni81NTQvb3JpZ2luYWwvbWlzc2lsZS1kZWZlbnNlLWFnZW5jeS1zcGFjZS10cmFja2luZy1zdXJ2ZWlsbGFuY2Utc3lzdGVtLmpwZw==.webp)\n\nThe Trump administration is expected to seek funds in 2020 to begin work on a constellation of missile-watching sensors. Congress has hinted it would support the plan in light of new warnings that Russia is testing hypersonic ballistic glider weapons that currently would be undetectable after the initial boost phase of their flight.\n\nTo track these ultra-high speed gliders, the vantage point of space would be advantageous, said Tom Karako, senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.\n\"We're hearing a lot of good words about a space sensor layer. But as of right now it has not been translated into programs and budgets,\".\n\nThe Pentagon is expected to shed light on its future plans in the upcoming Ballistic Missile Defense Review. Defense Department spokeswoman Dana White said last week the review is still going through the approval process and its release is forthcoming.\n\nWith both Russia and China said to be close to deploying hypersonic glide vehicles — conceivably with nuclear warheads — the Pentagon does not have a lot of time to study how to build a defense architecture, said Karako. \"We have to move out,\" he said. \"We should not wait for the 2020 budget. If we're serious about the need for speed, there should b e an adjustment to the 2019 budget.\"\n\nSenior defense and military officials have been pushing to get a program started, said Karako. \"Mike Griffin [undersecretary of defense for research and engineering] is leaning forward on this pretty hard,\" he said.\n\nMissile Defense Agency Director Lt. Gen. Samuel Greaves has been a proponent of deploying sensors in space, as has U.S. Strategic Command's Gen. John Hyten.\n\n\"MDA could take the lead, but Greaves might bring in the Air Force as well,\" said Karako. Greaves is a former director of the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center. \"He is a space guy,\" which makes this a \"particularly ripe moment\" for MDA and the Air Force to collaborate on this project.\n\n![IMG_20180526_075400_357.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQTMDCMwCoo7kjuuv1DD7tzwXaatRRskBFLRgMgitoaej/IMG_20180526_075400_357.jpg)\n\nThe utility of space sensors has been studied for decades so the Pentagon has plenty of data to draw from. Electronic eyes in low-Earth Orbit would be looking sideways at objects \"with the coldness of space behind them,\" said Karako. \"That vantage point is useful. You also can watch objects persistently from birth to death as opposed to ground-based radars which by nature are limited by the horizon.\"\n\nThe Pentagon during the Clinton administration conceived a plan for a 24-satellite LEO constellation to track missiles, but it never got off the ground. The Bush White House ordered two prototype satellites from Northrop Grumman, known as the Space Tracking and Surveillance System. \"They're still up there,\" said Karako. \"But they are not very survivable, and two satellites in LEO can't cover the globe.\"\n\nIt is hard to conceive a scenario to defend the United States from hypersonic vehicles that does not involve a layer of sensors in space, Karako said. \"You don't have to fill up the Pacific Ocean with lots of radars looking up at the sky. You can do a lot from space.\"\n\nThe problem for the United States is that the existing missile shield designed to thwart a ballistic missile attack cannot handle the \"quasi ballistic threat\" that would be posed by the next generation of Russian and Chinese weapons. A hypersonic weapon could be launched atop an intercontinental ballistic missile, and it it would glide on top of the Earth's atmosphere to its designated target. The glide vehicles were designed to penetrate U.S. missile defenses by flying around radars and high in the atmosphere above the reach of U.S. interceptor missiles like Patriot. They are aimed \"at the gaps and seams of where our missile defenses are able to intercept,\" said Karako.\n\nThe Missile Defense Agency continues to operate both STSS satellites. It requested $37 million in its 2019 budget for operations and sustainment. The satellites were launched in 2007, and have far exceeded their life expectancy. One option for MDA is to build out that constellation. Another is a more distributed architecture of smaller and less expensive satellites.\n\n\nKarako said the price tag would be significant but it could be offset by spending less money on ground-based sensors. \"Populating every island in the Pacific with a radar is not cheap either.\" The Pentagon has requested $2.5 billion in 2019 for two large radars.\n\nStory provided by SpaceNews\n\nBy Sandra Erwins",
