The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded the University of Tennessee $480,749 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to operate a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on quantum algorithms and optimization. Undergraduate participants develop code implementing quantum algorithms, mathematically prove bounds on algorithm performance, and compare leading quantum algorithms to classical alternatives. Students work on interdisciplinary teams to create new algorithms addressing large-scale combinatorial optimization problems—such as routing and scheduling—or develop new optimization techniques to reduce the quantum resources required to run select quantum algorithms. Research activities include optimizing quantum circuit design through linear programming or combinatorics-inspired heuristics and developing new encoding schemes for translating classical mathematics and physics problems to quantum circuits. Participants learn fundamental quantum algorithms research techniques including running quantum algorithms on hardware, using machine learning and statistical methods to analyze experimental data, and engaging in professional development designed to prepare them for scientific careers. The site operates at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029.
