QUANTUM COMPUTING RESEARCH IN NEW AND EMERGING QUBITS & CROSS-QUANTUM SYSTEMS SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
Agency: Dept of the Army -- Materiel Command
Assistance Listings: 12.431 -- Basic Scientific Research
Last Updated: March 2, 2017
Description
The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) in collaboration with the Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS) is soliciting proposals for research in two focused topic areas: (A) new and emerging qubit science and technology (NEQST) and (B) cross quantum technology systems (CQTS).NEQST focuses on qubit systems that explore new operating regimes and environments, fundamentally new methods of fabrication, and new methods of design, control, or operation. These explorations should have in mind the development of quantum computation where the novel properties of these systems create significant advantages in...
coherence, fabrication, and/or qubit operation over current state-of-the-art qubits.While NEQST focuses on developing new qubit and quantum gate technologies, CQTS focuses on combining existing disparate quantum technologies to provide functionality that significantly improves the performance of, or adds capability to, any of the individual qubit types. Topics of particular interest are quantum state transfer (e.g. microwave-to-optical), novel classical control paradigms, and quantum memories.(Note: this BAA is concerned only with the circuit model of quantum computation)
