This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Computing and Communication Foundations, under the CFDA program "Computer and Information Science and Engineering," provides $600,000 to Yale University from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The funding supports the development of a quantum database (QDB) system architecture to enable efficient and reliable data processing by quantum computing systems. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include:

  • Identifying critical hardware and software advances needed to translate proof-of-concept quantum random access memory (QRAM) demonstrations into scalable, functional platforms. This involves studying the requirements for fault-tolerant QRAM architectures and developing simulation and benchmarking tools.
  • Designing new algorithms enabled by the quantum database systems to improve data access and manipulation for quantum computing applications.
  • Conducting an extensive set of educational and outreach activities to foster the growth of the future quantum computing workforce and promote understanding of quantum memory and database technologies.

No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
