The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO), in collaboration with the National Security Agency (NSA), is offering this grant for research in High Performance Superconducting Qubit Systems. This grant is for advancing qubit technology by substantially improving the fidelity of one and two-qubit operations and designing qubits with built-in error protection. Proposals are encouraged to address both goals in an integrated approach, though individual focus is permitted. The scope covers high performance superconducting qubit systems, specifically high fidelity two-qubit gates or error-protected qubits, and key supporting technologies crucial for achieving high-performance superconducting qubits.

| Description: | The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) in collaboration with the National Security Agency (NSA) is soliciting proposals for research in High Performance Superconducting Qubit Systems. This BAA has two primary goals; (a) substantially improve the fidelity of one and two-qubit operations over current state-of-the-art performance, and (b) design and test qubits with built-in error protection. While proposals that advance both primary goals in an integrated approach are encouraged, proposers may focus on either goal individually, given the state-of-the-art of their approach.
There are two types of proposals with different research scopes covered in this announcement: 1. High performance superconducting qubit systems a. High Fidelity 2-qubit gates 2. Key supporting technology to high-performance superconducting qubits |
