The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) for the period of May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2025. The grant funds research to develop a scalable manufacturing platform for spatially controlled molecular quantum bits (qubits) using DNA self-assembly and chemically tailored organometallic qubits. An interdisciplinary team will pursue a bottom-up approach to qubit design and integration into higher-order spatial networks to fabricate multi-qubit systems and devices. Two-dimensional DNA architectures patterned with nanoscale position and orientation will be used to integrate distinct organometallic color centers as qubits onto device surfaces. Prototypes for quantum sensing of biological analytes with addressable proximity to the qubits on a DNA platform will also be developed. The research aims to enable low-cost, ubiquitous manufacturing of quantum sensing and computing systems with applications in health diagnostics, autonomy, and other technological areas.
