About this award

This cost-plus-fixed-fee contract valued at $7.37 million was awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to Coldquanta, Inc., doing business as Infleqtion, to achieve a proof of principle using a quantum optimization algorithm on a noisy intermediate-scale quantum device to solve an optimization problem as part of the Optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum devices program. Major subcontractors include the Pennsylvania State University, the University of Chicago, Tufts University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Raytheon BBN Technologies Corp. doing business as BBN Technologies, and the University of Colorado. The goal is to establish whether quantum information processing using noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices provides quantitative advantage over classical methods for solving combinatorial optimization problems relevant to national security. There is no set-aside designation. The contract will run from February 2020 through May 2024.

Description

The goal of the optimization with noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices (ONISQ) program is to achieve a proof of principle using a quantum optimization algorithm on a nisq device to solve an optimization problem.
