This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides $457,963 to the University of Washington to establish an Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on quantum information science and engineering (QISE). The REU program will engage undergraduate students, including those from underrepresented groups, in a range of QISE research projects spanning theory, algorithms, hardware, and applications. The goal is to equip students with the skills and experience needed to pursue graduate-level QISE research and address key scientific and engineering challenges in this rapidly growing field, which has been identified as a national priority. The program will leverage the university's connections to the quantum industry in the Seattle area to provide professional development opportunities for the participating students. The award period is from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2028. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
