NAWCAD Physicist to Discuss Quantum Technologies
Quantum Technologies: Impacts for National Security and Society will be presented by Josh Grossman, PhD, a physicist with the Quantum Research & Applications Branch of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division. The program March 28 is sponsored by The Patuxent Partnership and the Center for the Study of Democracy at St. Mary’s College of Maryland.
March 28, 2025 | 11:30am – 12:30pm
St. Mary’s College Cinema Campus Center
47600 Mill Field Drive, St. Mary’s City
In the past century, the First Quantum Revolution produced society-transforming technologies. Now, a Second Quantum Revolution is delivering new technologies in quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum communication. These technologies have already impacted national security considerations, and their effects will soon spread to other sectors of society. This talk will exam these effects and their probable timing.
Dr. Grossman has worked in quantum technology for 30 years, starting with training with key figures in the field. After 18 years as a physics professor, in 2022 he joined NAWCAD to develop quantum sensors and quantum communication technology.
