CLIN 0001, I JB, The contractor shall provide research services in the area of quantum algorithms and models supporting the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) basic research program in Quantum Computation for Physical Modeling. The contractor will work on determining the "quantum computational complexity of the simulation of a turbulent viscous fluid as a function of its Reynolds number along with and in support of AFRL researchers. The contractor will also provide computational and mathematical support in the area of quantum computation and discrete models of hydrodynamics. The contractor shall provide systems administration support to the AFRL group, including the development of a Mathematica interface to all of the different simulation codes used there, and possibly for the control and operation of the spatial nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. The contractor will also work on the design of a modern lattice-gas machine, which may be used to test reversible algorithms as a prelude to unitary quantum algorithms potentially run on the spatial NMR spectrometer. The contractor will also assist AFRL in the construction of the next generation lattice-gas machine if AFRL pursues that avenue. Scientific progress achieved during the period of performance of the contract shall be published as technical reports and articles in accepted referred journals. The contractor will make the software implementation of any developed model available to AFRL.
