Thank you, Chair.
I get quite excited when I hear you all talk about AI, quantum computing and so forth.
I note that the NRC spoke about photonics. My understanding of photonics is that it's really where we segue our technology away from electrons into photons. I suspect there is a lot of crossover with quantum and AI and so forth.
Could both organizations expand on the importance of these areas and what we're doing as a government and as a country, to promote and expand research in these areas?
We could start with Dr. Vats.
