This $540,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program supports the development of a comprehensive framework to design and operate quantum networks with maximum efficiency. The project aims to overcome the challenges of current noisy, error-prone, and inefficient quantum hardware by creating intelligent control policies that are co-designed with the underlying hardware. This work will enable near-term quantum systems to perform tasks that are currently out of reach, accelerating the development of secure quantum communication infrastructure, which is critical for national defense and economic prosperity. The project will also support scientific progress by enabling new quantum-enhanced instruments and foster economic welfare through applications in drug discovery and materials science. The research will produce open-source software tools and include significant educational components, such as developing new university curricula and supporting undergraduate research. The award was granted to the University of Massachusetts, a prominent public research university, which will leverage its extensive academic resources and research facilities to conduct this fundamental and applied research on quantum networks.
