The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) federal grant program to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for $236,459 starting on July 1, 2025. The grant aims to develop a "Quantum Pulse Processing" framework to improve the performance and programmability of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices for quantum simulation. The research focuses on integrating advanced control techniques and algorithm design to minimize noise and enhance the efficiency of quantum simulations, enabling applications across physics, chemistry, and engineering. This work seeks to create scalable multi-qubit control protocols, robust hybrid digital-analog simulation algorithms, and scalable characterization methods to support the advancement of quantum technology and the development of a quantum-ready workforce through open-source tools and educational resources. The project will be validated through collaborative experimentation with academic and industry partners using diverse quantum platforms, including superconducting qubits, ion traps, and neutral atoms.
