APL is leading the development of a technical framework to guide organizations and industry in developing interoperable, safe, effective and secure medical systems that will deliver the next generation of medical care, in addition to providing a framework for implementing remote and autonomous care where appropriate.

For years, APL has applied its expertise to protecting quantum computers from a challenging issue called decoherence, errors that arise when the building blocks of quantum computing lose information to their environment. Researchers are now testing strategies for combating these errors to improve the performance of quantum algorithms on noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers.

APL is joining with IEEE and the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate on Oct. 23 to host a virtual workshop on 5G technologies for technical and first responders; registration is open now.

APL’s third annual Research Frontiers Forum, “Quantum: Imagine the Impact,” will integrate the perspectives of academia, industry and government, first imagining a future transformed by revolutionary and accessible quantum technology and then shifting our focus to identifying strategies today to create our quantum future.

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted global public health and the world economy, but its consequences potentially go much further — threatening democratic values and the fabric of national and international politics.

Researchers at APL are collaborating with radiologists from Johns Hopkins Medicine to develop an upstream data fusion (UDF) method — leveraging artificial intelligence — that promises to significantly improve the accuracy of breast cancer screening.

In a recent article in Plant Phenome Journal, APL scientists describe the development of a method for scanning plants without destroying them — using computerized tomography — to collect data on how they grow, and the creation of an algorithm to extract important plant-response metrics.
