About this award

This federal contract award to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) is for the development of Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) into a viable, high-spectral resolution, and individual photon counting detector technology. The $302,316.00 grant was awarded by a civilian government agency, the Shared Services Center, and does not have a set-aside designation. UCSB, as a prominent public research university, has extensive capabilities in areas like quantum computing, materials science, and defense-related fundamental research. The university often collaborates with partners like Sri International, Arete Associates, and MIT on complex research efforts. UCSB has a strong track record of securing federal contract awards and grants from agencies such as NASA, the Department of Defense, and the National Science Foundation to develop advanced technologies and conduct interdisciplinary research across various scientific and technological domains.

Description

The goal of the proposed research is the development of microwave kinetic inductance detectors (mkids) into not only a viable detector technology, but a powerful one with high spectral resolution and individual photon counting.
