This $450,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computing and Communication Foundations under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The grant supports an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Computer Science Department and Harvard University Physics Department to develop a novel compiler for Dynamically Reconfigurable Atom Arrays (DRAAs), an emerging quantum computing hardware platform. The research aims to address key technical challenges in DRAA compilation, including scalable mapping, scheduling, and atom movement, as well as efficient error correction. The project will test the developed algorithms and compilation flow experimentally on a DRAA quantum computer at Harvard University. The research results will be disseminated through publications, tutorials, and open-source software releases to facilitate technology transfer and community engagement. The grant also includes plans to integrate the research with educational initiatives to train a new generation of students in quantum computing and design automation.
