About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $3.59M definitive contract to the University of Michigan's Office of Research and Sponsored Projects on January 26, 2023, for the Digitally Assisted CMOS Relaxation Oscillator Based Quantum Inspired Computing (DACROQ) program. This cost-no-fee contract, with performance in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and completion targeted for June 30, 2025, supports research in quantum-inspired classical computing methodologies. The award carries no set-aside designation, reflecting a competitive procurement process. The University of Michigan leverages its extensive research infrastructure and interdisciplinary expertise to advance computational technologies of strategic interest to the Defense Department.
To execute the research objectives, the University of Michigan engaged Muse Semiconductor LLC as a subcontractor in October 2024 to facilitate prototyping of 6mm² of CMOS HPC+RF (high-performance computing plus radiofrequency) technology through Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Because TSMC does not work directly with academic institutions, intermediary companies like Muse Semiconductor provide essential services to bridge this gap. The subcontract specifically involves the TSMC 28nm HPC+RF full block design (Muse part number M15423) with a sample quantity of 100 units, enabling the university to develop and validate quantum-inspired computing architectures at advanced process nodes critical for high-performance applications.
