This document introduces the members of the NIST Virtual Advisory Committee on Technology (VCAT), a group currently serving to guide national technology standards. The committee includes industry leaders like Dr. Broz from IBM Quantum and federal researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, bringing expertise in quantum computing, photonics, and spectrum management. Their diverse backgrounds span academia, government, and private industry, ensuring a wide range of perspectives on technical development.
These experts are tasked with advising NIST on the creation and implementation of standards for emerging technologies, including quantum systems and advanced communications. While no specific protocol is named in this text, the committee’s role is to ensure these standards support national security and economic growth. Their collective experience suggests a focus on practical adoption and robust measurement protocols for future quantum and network technologies.
