This $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will enable the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to build an advanced quantum computing laboratory. The laboratory will create and fault-tolerantly measure many-body quantum states, with the goal of demonstrating practical quantum advantages for problems in chemistry, materials, and physics.

The project will make significant advances in atomic physics, quantum error correction, and quantum compilation to develop a Logical Quantum Processing Unit (LQU) with over 100 fault-tolerant logical qubits and an Analog Quantum Simulator (AQU) with over 1,000 physical qubits. The open quantum testbed will enable external users to propose and demonstrate quantum information science and engineering advances. MIT will also develop next-generation integrated electronics and photonics to control large-scale quantum systems.

The project includes sub-awards to Harvard University to study optical control systems and quantum interconnects, and to the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Maryland, College Park to research state preparation and quantum state measurement for fault-tolerant quantum computing. This interdisciplinary initiative aims to democratize access to quantum technologies and enable a greater than 10-fold increase in quantum builders and users by 2030.
