DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory–Army Research Office (ARL-ARO) in partnership with the Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS) is soliciting proposals for research in Trapped Ions & Neutral Atoms Quantum Computing (TINA QC).
This is a proposed four-year program and is primarily focused
on three topic areas in the field of quantum computing (QC) with trapped ions and neutral atoms.
The topic areas are as follows:(1) Modular Atoms (MA):· Primary Research Goal:
Advance the state-of-the-art for remote two-qubit gates between two spatially separated modules to enable distributed quantum computing.(2) Fast Atoms (FA):· Primary Research Goal:
Faster high-fidelity qubit operations, such as two-qubit gates or mid-circuit measurements, that correspondingly improves algorithm run-time.(3) Versatile Atoms (VA):· Primary Research Goal:
Increase the versatility of atomic qubits through innovative concepts that preserve the advantages of such systems in a multi-qubit setting.Research proposals to these topics are sought that address the circuit gate-based model of quantum computation, be suitable for universal control in multi-qubit architectures, and make progress towards fault-tolerant quantum computing.
