Quantum Leap : Asking Ambitious Questions Q1: Are there fundamental limits to how far we can push the entanglement and coherence frontiers for quantum states? Are there limits in time, distance, or scale? Q2: What can we learn from quantum phenomena in naturally-occurring and engineered quantum systems, including emergent behavior, complexity, quantumclassical boundaries, and their theoretical foundations? Q3: How do we galvanize the science and engineering community to enable quantum devices, systems, and technologies that surpass classical capabilities? Where Materials Begin & Society Benefits!
