The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is offering a grant for researchers to develop a mathematical framework supporting secure quantum communication schemes in the free space optical environment. The focus is on high bandwidth, long-range, and provably secure communications. Experimental verification is not the main priority. Interested applicants should refer to ONRBAA13-001 for application instructions. Deadline for applications is January 22, 2013.

| Description:: | The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals that develop the mathematical framework and associated analysis that eventually supports practical secure physical implementations of QCs schemes with high bandwidth, long range, provable secure communications.
The proposed research efforts must focus on the free space optical communications environment that has been described earlier. The primary emphasis should be on the mathematical framework with limited resources being devoted to experimental verification. Applicants shall NOT apply under this Special Notice. Applicants shall apply using the Application Instructions and Package under ONRBAA13-001. |
