Objective
The deliverables from this project are a report and a workshop. This report will contain:
- A listing of people and organisations active in Europe, a lexicon and annotated bibliography.
- Definitions, bounds and classifications of activities in the areas of `quantum information'. This information will include sector by sector inter alia:- the scientific basis and state of the art: real world problems this technology may address, problems to be overcome; potential timetables and beneficiaries; and an assessment of their commercial potential.
- An assessment of the state of the art of these technologies in relation to known activity in other centres of excellence outside Europe.
- Suggested areas of further basic research;
- Proposals for ensuring continuing dissemination of information
- Finally a directory will be set up listing all organisations and people active in Europe in this field, and a database of relevant projects in Europe, a lexicon of terms and an annotated bibliography will be established. This information will be made available both on a web site and in printed form.
While it must be recognised that the goal of useful Quantum Computation may not be achieved for some years, it is believed that there will be valuable spin-offs along the road. Work on the subject may improve our understanding not simply of physics and nonotechnology, but also of the human brain; developments in secure communication and in holography may be achieved. When finally reached, the ultimate goal will impact on many aspects of computing, not just through a massive increase in power, but also through the opening up of new fundamental approaches to information retrieval. The challenges thrown up are ones that will stimulate and attract the best minds of young workers of the age into physics and computing.
This Working Group will consult widely on the limits, bounds and scope of quantum and allied phenomena and their impact on computing and communications. It will define the subject and submit these findings to wide peer review, including a conference to ensure as many views as possible are canvassed.

Topic(s)
Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
