LPS Qubit Collaboratory (LQC)

The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) in partnership with NSA’s Laboratory for Physical Science (LPS) is soliciting Incubator, Collaboration, and Fellowship research proposals for participation in the LPS Qubit Collaboratory (LQC). The mission of the LQC can be captured in three broad goals: 1) pursue disruptive fundamental research and enabling technologies with a focus on qubit development for quantum computing and other applications; 2) grow deep, collaborative partnerships to tackle the most difficult and relevant long-term problems in quantum information science and technology; and 3) build a quantum workforce of tomorrow through research experiences in government at LPS and at LQC partners. • Incubator opportunities seek partnership proposals from single investigators and small research groups to contribute toward the pursuit of the research thrusts presented. • Collaboratory proposals seek research proposals that bring together a strong significant collaboration to pursue long-term projects focused on fundamental problems of interest to qubit development and/or associated science and technology. • QuaCR Research Fellowship proposals seek to support talented U.S. citizen graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the field of quantum information processing.
