Joint Statement of the United States of America and Denmark on Cooperation in Quantum Information Science and Technology & More News Here

The textual content of the following joint assertion was launched by the Governments of the United States of America and Denmark.

Begin Text:

The United States of America and Denmark,

• Recognizing that science, expertise, and innovation have enabled transformative capabilities throughout a number of sectors, from power to well being and communications to transportation, and that the basis of this progress is the world analysis enterprise, and its fixed creation of new information, understanding, and insights;
• Appreciating that quantum info science and expertise (QIST) revolutionizes each our understanding of basic phenomena in addition to the improvement of highly effective computer systems, safe and speedy communication, and sensors with unprecedented precision, accuracy, and modalities;
• Understanding that the emergence of such sturdy applied sciences relies upon on an intensive effort to increase theoretical and sensible understandings of QIST and to develop new instruments for characterization, validation, and verification functions; and
• Acknowledging that worldwide partnerships are key to mix the experience, ingenuity, and creativity of our international locations to increase our basic understanding of QIST and thereby speed up the realization of new applied sciences for the profit of humanity.

The United States and Denmark intend to harness the spirit of science, expertise, and innovation to pursue cooperation and the mutual respect it confers, and to advertise QIST together with however not restricted to quantum computing, quantum networking, and quantum sensing, which underpins the improvement of society and trade.

We intend to advance this agenda utilizing the following method:

Creating a vibrant ecosystem for QIST Research and Development by:

• Embarking on good-faith cooperation that’s underpinned by our shared rules, together with freedom of inquiry, openness, transparency, honesty, fairness, truthful competitors, objectivity, safety and enforcement of mental property, and democratic values.
• Committing to create inclusive scientific analysis communities and sort out cross-cutting points of widespread curiosity reminiscent of fairness, variety, inclusion, and accessibility, so that each particular person is ready to totally take part and have an equal alternative to succeed.
• Collaborating in venues reminiscent of workshops, seminars, and conferences to convene stakeholders throughout authorities, academia, and trade to debate and perceive the progress of QIST analysis and determine concrete areas of mutual curiosity for current and future scientific cooperation.
• Leveraging current platforms for collaboration that create alternatives for tutorial establishments, trade consortia, main laboratories, and stakeholders in our world science and innovation group.
• Promoting dialogue to encourage the formation of collaborative networks and the sharing of QIST associated methodologies, infrastructure, and information, on voluntary and mutually agreed phrases, for schooling, coaching, analysis, improvement, and basic science.
• Supporting the improvement of respectful and inclusive analysis environments and the subsequent era of scientists and engineers essential to increase the area by means of skill-building and relationship-building for college students and professionals by way of change alternatives, and different potential mechanisms.
• Exploring prospects for different actions to be thought of by collaborating international locations

Supporting pathways to domesticate QIST for industrial and societal impression by:

• Recognizing the capability of trade to innovate and speed up quantum info science and expertise breakthroughs by way of commercialization and investments that foster deployment of quantum applied sciences for shared financial prosperity and safety.
• Enabling alternatives to construct a trusted world market and provide chain for QIST R&D, and supporting financial development, by participating stakeholders together with trade consortia, analysis leaders, coverage makers, and enterprise safety stakeholders to develop the future QIST market primarily based on shared engagement rules.
• Facilitating continued dialogue with related stakeholders throughout educational, non-public sector, and authorities places of work concerning the accountable improvement and implementation of quantum applied sciences to offer sensible advantages for our residents, economies, and safety.
• Leveraging multilateral alternatives to advertise coverage dialogues and focus on QIST issues of worldwide significance, together with, however not restricted to, constructing protected and inclusive analysis environments, and pursuing methods to handle regulatory, standardization, and certification wants in areas the place quantum applied sciences could be utilized reminiscent of power, well being, and cybersecurity.
• Taking into consideration that QIST ecosystems will rely on shut worldwide connections and collaboration with companions, since the options that should be developed are at a scale the place no firm, nor nation, can develop all parts alone.
• Valuing cooperation in quantum scientific analysis, expertise improvement, and innovation to deepen our bonds of friendship and understanding, strengthen our economies, and contribute to world science and expertise information.

We affirm our understanding that cooperation enabled by this Statement is pursuant to the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark for Scientific and Technological Cooperation signed at Copenhagen on September 15, 2009, and that the phrases of the S&T Agreement and associated agreements govern such cooperation.
