About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $6.747716 million definitive contract to Regents Of The University Of Minnesota for research and development of CMOS oscillator-based Ising computers designed to demonstrate quantum-inspired solver systems capable of solving greater than 1000 parameter problems at 50x better efficiency than current state-of-the-art approaches, with an award date of September 28, 2022.
The contract carries no set-aside designation and is priced on a cost-no-fee basis. Place of performance is Minneapolis, MN. The originating solicitation, posted September 28, 2021 with a January 12, 2022 due date, sought proposals through DARPA's Quantum-Inspired Classical Computing program across two technical areas: solver co-design frameworks and analog hardware prototyping. The program anticipated 60 months of performance beginning May 2022 with approximately $58 million in total government funding distributed between Technical Area 1 (solver co-design, $17 million) and Technical Area 2 (analog hardware prototyping, $41 million). Key program milestones target computational efficiency improvements of 10-1000x for problems with up to 10,000 variables through 2026. The ultimate completion date is October 5, 2025. Subcontractors include Muse Semiconductor LLC for multi-project wafer services and custom integrated circuit tapeout and fabrication, and The Trustees Of Princeton University for research support.
