Eligibility

Eligible Applicants: Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligible applicants under this BAA include Institutions of higher education (foreign and domestic), nonprofit organizations, and for-profit concerns (large and small businesses). Proposals are encouraged from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (as determined by the Secretary of Education to meet requirements of Title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. §1061)) and from Minority Institutions defined as institutions “whose enrollment of a single minority or a combination of minorities exceeds 50 percent of the total enrollment.” [20 U.S.C. § 1067k(3) and 10 U.S.C. § 2362]. However, no funds are specifically allocated for HBCU/MI participation.Federally Funded Research & Development Centers (FFRDCs), including Department of Energy National Laboratories, are not eligible to receive awards under this BAA. However, teaming arrangements between FFRDCs and eligible principal offerors are allowed so long as such arrangements are permitted under the sponsoring agreement between the Government and the specific FFRDC, and no funds from the award flow to the FFRDC.

Additional Information

Agency Name: Dept of the Army — Materiel Command
Description:

DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory–Army Research Office (ARL-ARO) in partnership with the Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS) is soliciting proposals for research in Trapped Ions & Neutral Atoms Quantum Computing (TINA QC). This is a proposed four-year program and is primarily focused on three topic areas in the field of quantum computing (QC) with trapped ions and neutral atoms. 

The topic areas are as follows:

(1) Modular Atoms (MA):

·      Primary Research Goal: Advance the state-of-the-art for remote two-qubit gates between two spatially separated modules to enable distributed quantum computing.

(2) Fast Atoms (FA):

·      Primary Research Goal: Faster high-fidelity qubit operations, such as two-qubit gates or mid-circuit measurements, that correspondingly improves algorithm run-time.

(3) Versatile Atoms (VA):

·      Primary Research Goal: Increase the versatility of atomic qubits through innovative concepts that preserve the advantages of such systems in a multi-qubit setting.

Research proposals to these topics are sought that address the circuit gate-based model of quantum computation, be suitable for universal control in multi-qubit architectures, and make progress towards fault-tolerant quantum computing.
