About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $380,633 definitive contract to Qket, LLC on June 17, 2026, to research a gap in theater-level platforms for entanglement distribution across short-range, mobile, reconfigurable free-space optical (FSO) links.
The contract is structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee with a completion date of November 17, 2027. Work is performed in Boca Raton, FL. The research originated under BAA FA8750-23-S-7001, issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate at Rome Research Site, which solicits white papers for research in Quantum Information Sciences supporting Air Force C4I mission objectives. The BAA covers five technical focus areas including quantum algorithms, quantum information processing, memory-node-based quantum networking, and heterogeneous quantum platforms. Selected offerors based on white paper merit proceed to formal technical and cost proposal submission. The BAA is open through September 30, 2027, with a total estimated funding across fiscal years 2023 through 2027 of approximately $500 million.
