DOD/US Army Research Office: Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for LPS Qubit Collaboratory (LQC)

(Pre-proposals/pre-applications may be submitted at any time throughout the 5-year period from the BAA release date to the BAA closing date)

The Lab for Quantum Computing (LQC) has three main goals (please see BAA for more details):

1. Advance fundamental research and technologies for quantum computing and related applications, particularly focusing on qubit development.
2. Foster strong partnerships to address challenging long-term issues in quantum information science and technology.
3. Develop the future quantum workforce by offering research experiences in government and with LQC partners.

LQC's success will be marked by substantial progress in solving complex, long-term research problems in quantum information science and technology, which will propel the field forward. These challenges include improving device performance, exploring alternative qubit physics and gate types, and enhancing materials to boost qubit gate fidelity.

Funding: Incubator proposals are expected to be 1-3 years in duration and not exceed $500K/year. Longer proposals may be considered due to scheduling requirements of fabrication and experiments.
