    Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) Steering Advisory Committee on Quantum Science and Technology Final Report Presented to the Planning and Budgeting Committee General Assembly February 2018 1 | PAGE Preamble, Prof. Uri Sivan, Committee Chairman My heartfelt thanks to the committee members for their time and efforts invested in constructing the National Academic Quantum Science and Technology (QST) Program. Their expertise and the depth and scope of discussions have brought to the results presented below. My thanks to the Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) members, particularly to the Chairwomen, Prof. Zilbershats, for her continuous trust in the committee and its objective. Special thanks to the PBC representatives accompanying the Committee: Dr. Liat Maoz, Ms. Nina Ostrozhko and Mr. Amir Gat for their extraordinary devotion and contributions throughout. “The second quantum revolution”, which drove the PBC to declare QST as a priority field in its five- years plan, is underway. Testament to this are the expansive national and multinational programs announced by most developed countries and extensive commercial investments. The proposed program aims to lay down the academic foundation necessary for Israel to join this revolution. It leans upon the existing excellence and provides a roadmap of the steps necessary to significantly expand the scope of activity, improve research capacities and train a skilled workforce to set the revolution in motion in academia, industry and security sector. An expansive academic program is critical to position Israel at the forefront of global research and development, but realizing its national potential also demands partnering with additional entities experienced in laying down the infrastructure necessary to develop the industry and security needs.

  • Eitan Tadmor - 50
    Computational Methods in Applied Mathematics Vol. 4 (2004), No. 3, pp. 265{270 ⃝c 2004 Institute of Mathematics, NAS of Belarus Doi: 10.2478/cmam-2004-0015 Eitan Tadmor - 50 A. Kurganov · R. Lazarov · D. Levy · G. Petrova · B. Popov Professor Eitan Tadmor turned 50 ear- lier this year. He is one of the most ac- tive and influential mathematicians in the area of numerical analysis, general theory of applied PDEs, and scientific computing. He has influenced the field of applied math- ematics in many ways: through his deep and broad mathematical research, his strong efforts in advising, training, and mentor- ing young scientists, and active participa- tion in the scientific life of the international mathematical community by holding impor- tant administrative positions and serving on editorial boards of leading mathemati- cal journals. The aim of this article is to briefly summarize some of his major scien- tific achievements and his contributions to various branches of the field of mathemat- ics. Eitan Tadmor did his both undergrad- uate and graduate studies at the Tel Aviv University in Israel. He earned the M.Sc. degree in mathematics in 1975 under the supervi- sion of Professors Gideon Zwas and Moshe Goldberg, and the Ph.D. degree in mathematics in 1979 under the supervision of Professor Saul S. Abarbanel. After completing the disserta- tion, he held a postdoctoral position at the California Institute of Technology (Cal. Tech.) and at the Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE), NASA Langley Research Center, and afterward he had regular faculty positions at the Tel Aviv Uni- versity (1983-1998) and at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) (1995-present).
