The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is offering this grant for its “Basic Research Challenge on Majorana Fermions,” a significant thrust under its comprehensive Broad Agency Announcement. This specific opportunity, managed by the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (Code 31) sub-section, is designed to focus the scientific community’s attention and foster dialogue. The grant’s purpose is to facilitate research aimed at detecting, characterizing, and manipulating Majorana fermions within solid-state systems. It seeks proposals to achieve a thorough understanding and experimental validation of various theoretical predictions regarding these exotic particles. The ultimate goal is to assess their application potential in critical fields, particularly quantum information technology, thereby advancing capabilities vital for the Navy and Marine Corps.
