- Description
- NA The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) announces the availability of Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) No. DAAD19-02-R-0005 for Experimental and Theoretical Development of Quantum Computers dated May 2002. The BAA solicits research proposals for one to three-y ear performance periods for two categories related to quantum computing: (1) Quantum Computing and (2) Quantum Algorithm. ?Quantum Computing? proposals are specifically for both experimental and theoretical studies of potential physical embodiments of qu antum logic and for more basic (usually, but not necessarily, theoretical) studies in the related fields of quantum error correction and control, quantum decoherence and entanglement. The experimental implementation studies must develop proof-of-concept demonstrations. A minimum objective is the demonstration, at the conclusion of a three-year project, of several entangling operations on at least three qubits. Proposals for theoretical and other basic studies should be smaller in scope, but like the lar ger experimental qubit implementation proposals, should make very clear how the proposed work will enhance understanding of quantum computation and, therefore, facilitate the eventual development of practical quantum computers. ?Quantum Algorithm? propos als primarily should develop new quantum computing algorithms but may also consider issues of quantum computational complexity and computability. Proposals should be to devise specific quantum algorithms to solve mathematically and computationally hard p roblems from such diverse fields as algebra, number theory, geometry, analysis, optimization, graph theory, differential equations, combinatorics, topology, and logic. Also of interest are physically inspired problems that provide new insight into quantum algorithms and computation for mathematics. The BAA solicitation contains additional information along with instructions for white paper and proposal preparation and submission. Informal white papers must be received at ARO by July 1, 2002. White pape rs are not required prior to proposal submission but are strongly encouraged. Proposals must be received at ARO by October 8, 2002. Electronic submission of white papers (if submitted) and proposals is required. This BAA may be found on ARO?s website a t http://www.aro.army.mil.
