The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is offering this grant to advance the field of secure communications through Free Space Optical Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). This grant is for supporting proposals that focus on developing the crucial mathematical framework and its associated analysis. The ultimate goal is to enable practical, secure physical implementations of Quantum Communication (QC) schemes. These schemes are intended to achieve high bandwidth, long-range, and provably secure communications within a free space optical environment. While experimental verification is permitted, the primary emphasis of this research opportunity must remain on theoretical mathematical development to build robust foundations for future secure optical communication technologies.

| 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. |
