Federal Project Grant Award Summary Rice University received a $599,360 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. The project, "Foundations of Quantum Hardness: On the Power of Quantum Proofs and the Approximability of Local Hamiltonians," will deliver research outputs investigating the computational complexity of approximating key properties of quantum many-body systems, including ground-state energy, partition functions, and thermal states. The research will produce new quantum and classical algorithms, complexity-theoretic analyses of computational limitations, and potential applications to quantum physics, chemistry, and materials science. Beyond research deliverables, the award supports workforce development through graduate and postdoctoral training, development of new quantum computing curricula, and undergraduate mentoring in quantum computing technologies. The project addresses a foundational challenge in quantum computing by determining how difficult it is to obtain practical approximations of quantum Hamiltonian properties when exact polynomial-time solutions are believed to be intractable. This research directly supports NSF's mission to advance computing research and serve the national interest through efficient quantum algorithm development with significant applications in fundamental science and technology.
