About this award
This $11,864,449 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract was awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to RTX BBN Technologies, Inc. (a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies Corporation), to develop a "Globally Linked Ising Machine Platform with Superconducting Electronics (GLIMPSE)". The contract aims to advance quantum-inspired classical computing capabilities through two technical areas: solver co-design frameworks and analog hardware prototyping. This work supports DARPA's Quantum-Inspired Classical Computing program, which seeks to achieve at least two orders of magnitude improvement in computational efficiency over existing techniques for hard optimization problems. The contract has a period of performance through September 2027 and does not utilize any set-aside designations. RTX BBN Technologies is collaborating with subcontractors Cornell University and Carnegie Mellon University on this effort, which involves developing cutting-edge technologies in areas such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and advanced electronics.
