We’ve reached the Shor and then searched for a needle in a quantum haystack.

O brave new quantum world!
DOE Budget request
Bush whacked. DOE Budget request makes no mention of “quantum computing” or “quantum information” of “quantum coherence”. In fact, it never mentions the term “quantum”.
Well quantum funding mostly comes from ARO, ARDA (now DTO), DARPA and the NSF, none of which are in the DOE if I recall correctly. It’s hard to tell what the levels are for all four of these sources as this point. It is too bad that Bush didn’t come out and say that he wanted to build a quantum computer that could break terrorists cryptography by 2015 😉 Kind of like going to moon, but with cyptography.
I stand corrected. I was
focusing only on a fraction of W’s budget.
I went back and collected more
comprehensive numbers:
US 2007 budget requests that might
affect US funding of quantum computing.
American Competitiveness Initiative:
agency/total($1E9)/increase($1E9)/increase(%)
DOE/4.1/.505/14.1
NSF/6.02/.439/7.9
NIST(lab research)/.535/.104/24
One should also pay attention to DOD Budget requests, as in the
past, DOD has funded much quantum computing research.

Hello Dave,
We’ve been looking for Dabacon’s mass as a function of time, which used to be available online. What happened to it? google images can’t find it. We miss it. Please make this essential piece of information widely available.
And when are we going to Mexico? Alex expressed interest too.
