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 b.
Error protected qubits 2. Key supporting technology to high-performance superconducting qubits
