Quantum technologies are at a stage of rapid evolution, with sustained federal investment and active research communities in academia, national labs, and industry working to realize next-generation quantum computers, networks, and sensors with unprecedented capabilities. The geosciences, particularly atmospheric, oceanic and Earth system sciences face complex, interconnected challenges across a wide range of scales that present uniquely compelling use cases for both quantum computing and quantum sensing.
The workshop would bring together experts in quantum computing, quantum sensing, atmospheric science, oceanography, geophysics, data science, and modeling to:
Identify high-impact applications where quantum technologies could deliver near- and long-term scientific breakthroughs in geosciences.
Establish a community roadmap for collaborative research, pilot projects, and sustained engagement across disciplines.
Define methodological challenges and research priorities in quantum algorithm development, sensor integration, and real-world deployment scenarios.
Strengthen workforce and infrastructure initiatives to support the translation of quantum technologies into operational geoscience tools.
Through presentations, discussions, and breakout sessions, participants will help shape the future of quantum technologies for the geosciences.

By building a bridge between quantum information science and Earth system science communities, the workshop will lay the foundation for transformative scientific advances, strengthen U.S. leadership in both quantum technologies and environmental research, and contribute to a more resilient and scientifically informed society.

If you're interested in attending or participating, please complete the form linked here by Monday, April 6.<https://stonybrookuniversity.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_a2I3ZSxEzUmuEEm>
For more information, please visit the workshop website.<https://www.stonybrook.edu/quantum-geoscience/>

This workshop is supported by the NSF Geosciences Directorate. Travel funds will be provided for selected participants.

Further details on the agenda and ways to participate in the workshop will be shared in the coming weeks.

We look forward to your participation!

Best Regards,

Pavlos Kollias
On behalf of the Workshop Steering Committee
