Created by Q-NEXT, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Quantum Information Science Research Center, this document is a roadmap for quantum interconnects research and its impact for quantum information science and technology. It is the outcome of the collective work of a large team of Q-NEXT members and participants from academia, industry and DOE national laboratories. The roadmap addresses the role of quantum interconnects in three emerging areas of quantum information: computing, communication and sensing. It reviews the materials, components and systems used for these purposes; summarizes relevant scientific questions and issues; and addresses the most pressing research needs. The document then distills these considerations into recommendations for strategic science and technology research imperatives for the next decade. In addition to informing Q-NEXT’s internal activities, the roadmap has also been created with a broader objective of developing a guide for key issues and research needed over the next decade for the worldwide scientific and engineering community interested in quantum information.
