QuEST

QuEST Program Logo

Quantum Entanglement Science and Technology (QuEST) is a research program, announced by the DARPA Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) in 2008.[1][2] As a follow-on to the QuIST Program, its goal was to further accelerate development in the field of quantum information science.

Example areas under investigation included:[3][4][5][6]

• Shor's factoring algorithm,
• Quantum machine learning,
• Quantum game theory,
• Secure quantum communications,
• Quantum ghost imaging and interaction-free measurement, quantum image processing,
• Remote sensing, quantum radar and quantum metrology, e.g. entanglement-assisted gravitomagnetic interferometry.
