The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) and the Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS) invite proposals for research in new and emerging qubit science and technology, as well as cross quantum technology systems. The grant seeks to explore novel qubit systems and methods of fabrication, design, and control that could advance quantum computation. This opportunity specifically focuses on developing new qubit and quantum gate technologies, as well as integrating disparate quantum technologies to enhance overall performance and capability. Areas of interest include quantum state transfer, classical control paradigms, and quantum memories. (Closing Date: Jun 06, 2017)

| Description: | The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) in collaboration with the Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS) is soliciting proposals for research in two focused topic areas: (A) new and emerging qubit science and technology (NEQST) and (B) cross quantum technology systems (CQTS).NEQST focuses on qubit systems that explore new operating regimes and environments, fundamentally new methods of fabrication, and new methods of design, control, or operation. These explorations should have in mind the development of quantum computation where the novel properties of these systems create significant advantages in coherence, fabrication, and/or qubit operation over current state-of-the-art qubits.While NEQST focuses on developing new qubit and quantum gate technologies, CQTS focuses on combining existing disparate quantum technologies to provide functionality that significantly improves the performance of, or adds capability to, any of the individual qubit types. Topics of particular interest are quantum state transfer (e.g. microwave-to-optical), novel classical control paradigms, and quantum memories.(Note: this BAA is concerned only with the circuit model of quantum computation) |
