The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants Division. The award will fund the development of a new hybrid continuous-discrete variable quantum network architecture, including models, algorithms, and protocols to enable high-rate, high-fidelity entanglement distribution for quantum computing, sensing, and communication applications. The 3-year project aims to advance quantum networking capabilities by combining continuous-variable and discrete-variable quantum technologies to increase flexibility and performance for future quantum infrastructure. The research will contribute to the NSF's goals of driving scientific discovery, fostering technological innovation, and developing solutions to complex computational challenges with societal and economic impacts. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.
