The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to The Pennsylvania State University, doing business as Penn State. The goal of this 2-year project is to establish a quantum computing training program that addresses real-world challenges in power systems, contributing to a stronger and more reliable energy grid. The project aims to train a quantum-ready workforce in power engineering, enabling them to develop quantum algorithms that can effectively address complex power system challenges. Key objectives include creating an interdisciplinary training program, offering hands-on experience with quantum computing applications in power systems, and integrating problem-solving, training, and career advancement. This project supports NSF's mission of advancing STEM by systematically training the quantum-energy workforce through tailored curriculum development. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
