Description

The Air Force Research Laboratory - Information Directorate (AFRL/RI) is seeking white papers for Quantum Information Sciences. This BAA is for research, design, development, concept testing, evaluation and experimentation of Quantum Information Sciences supporting the implementation and use of Command, Control, Communications, Computers & Intelligence (C4I)-related information and communications technologies and techniques. Research will include Quantum Algorithms and Computing, Memory-Node- Based Quantum Networking, Quantum Information Processing, Heterogeneous Quantum Platforms, and Quantum Information Sciences. This effort seeks to advance and assess advanced algorithm designs and technologies harnessing emerging quantum computing techniques, and to investigate entanglement distribution across a heterogeneous quantum network, to support AFRL/RI's C4I mission. AFRL/RI is also interested in developing a user community around this emerging technology, to consist of other U.S. Government organizations, U.S. Government contractors and commercial industry, and academia. Individual awards will normally range from $0.5M to $27M, but can be up to $99.9M.
