The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to Yale University. The 3-year grant, effective September 1, 2024, supports research to enable a distributed quantum network infrastructure. The key objectives are to: (i) develop algorithms and protocols for efficient and fair sharing of the quantum network among users; (ii) create resource allocation protocols optimized for device quality metrics like quantum memory coherence times; and (iii) develop strategies to reduce the amount of classical communication required by quantum networking protocols. The research aims to advance the capabilities of quantum networks to support applications like unbreakable security, ultra-high-precision distributed sensing, and potentially exponential speed-ups in computing. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
