The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $4,990,252 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Rhode Island (URI) and the Pittsburgh Quantum Institute collaboration. The funding supports research to improve the robustness of superconducting qubits and address the need for quantum workforce development. The key objectives are to: 1) gain a fuller understanding of the mechanisms that couple two-level-system defects to superconducting qubits and the resulting coupling to the environment, with the goal of mitigating decoherence; and 2) expand knowledge of two-level-system defects in amorphous materials. The research methodology involves varying the growth parameters of key elements in state-of-the-art superconducting qubits. The award runs from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2030.
