Overview
Quantum Entanglement Science and Technology (QuEST) is a research program, announced by the DARPA Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) in 2008. As a follow-on to the QuIST Program, its goal was to further accelerate development in the field of quantum information science.
Example areas under investigation included:
Shor's factoring algorithm,
Quantum machine learning,
Quantum game theory,
Secure quantum communications,
Quantum ghost imaging and interaction-free measurement, quantum image processing,
Remote sensing, quantum radar and quantum metrology, e.g. entanglement-assisted gravitomagnetic interferometry.
