The National Science Foundation's Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded a $550,000 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) grant to the University of Texas at Austin effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031. This project grant, funded under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research to develop Josephson Junction Field Effect Transistors (JJFETs) as a foundational technology for modular quantum computing architectures. The primary deliverable is the design and demonstration of compact, efficient, and reconfigurable quantum routers that leverage hybrid superconductor-semiconductor components to route microwave signals between quantum chips while preserving quantum coherence. This technology addresses critical scalability challenges in superconducting quantum processors by enabling modular architectures that overcome the limitations of current monolithic chip designs, including crosstalk, wiring density, and fault propagation issues. In addition to the core technical research output, the project integrates educational and workforce development components targeting graduate, undergraduate, and K-12 students to strengthen the nation's quantum-ready STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) workforce and broaden public engagement with emerging quantum technologies. The research will be conducted at UT Austin's facility in Austin, Texas, with outcomes expected to provide a key architectural building block for scaling future quantum computers and advancing national quantum computing capabilities.Federal Grant Award Summary
