Quantum Computation Roadmap

The overall purpose of this roadmap is to help facilitate the progress of quantum computation research towards the quantum computer science era. It is a living document that will be updated at least annually.

Please e-mail comments on the quantum computation roadmap to Richard Hughes with a copy to Todd Heinrichs.
