Quantum Ecosystem Advancement, Growth & Leadership (QuantumEAGLe)
The DEVCOM Army Research Office, in partnership with the Laboratory for Physical Sciences is soliciting proposals for research to accelerate the U.S. quantum computing ecosystem and to retire challenges and hurdles to advance the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers (FTQC).
Development of a viable fault-tolerant quantum computer is potentially groundbreaking with respect to national priorities, but there remain significant challenges that require breakthroughs across many fronts, including supply chain, algorithms (including error correction), and continued foundational research and science. Quantum computing hardware continues to make rapid progress, particularly in the quality and number of available qubits.
The objective of this Announcement is to catalyze progress in the U.S. quantum computing ecosystem by focusing on three topics:
1. Improving the quantum computing supply chain
2. Developing advanced algorithms, architecture and error correction techniques
3. Addressing foundational challenges
These topic areas will foster a robust quantum ecosystem enabled through strategic partnerships and collaborations.
The success of this program and individual awards in the program will crucially depend upon the Government program team’s deep understanding of the overall technical plans, status, and challenges faced by the performers to their development of a fault-tolerant quantum computer, on a continuing basis during the program.
