OpportunityTitle: High Performance Superconducting Qubit Systems (HiPS)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligible applicants under this BAA include Institutions of higher education (foreign and  domestic), nonprofit organizations, and for profit concerns (large and small businesses).  Proposals are encouraged from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (as determined  by the Secretary of Education to meet requirements of Title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. &#167;1061)) and from Minority Institutions defined as  institutions &#8220;whose enrollment of a single minority or a combination of minorities exceeds 50 percent of the total enrollment.&#8221; [20 U.S.C. &#167; 1067k(3) and 10 U.S.C. &#167; 2362]. However, no  funds are specifically allocated for HBCU/MI participation.
Description: 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
