The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,149,999 Project Grant under its Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) for the development of an open-source ecosystem of modeling tools for quantum hardware. The project aims to create user-friendly tools that allow researchers to model quantum systems without extensive expertise in quantum simulation algorithms. This will enable the democratization of access to quantum technology, foster innovation, and accelerate the growth of quantum information science. Key project deliverables include a symbolic algebra system for backend-agnostic modeling of quantum systems, optimization and digital twin tooling for holistic optimization of quantum hardware and network dynamics, and the incorporation of advances in scientific machine learning and auto-differentiation. The project period runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027.
