Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute received a $248,242 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded October 1, 2025, with completion targeted for September 30, 2028. The award funds collaborative research on SPV (Synthesis, Profiling, and Verification)—an automated framework designed to advance quantum circuit design automation. The project delivers a quantum Electronic Design Automation (EDA) framework that synthesizes, profiles, and verifies quantum circuits, addressing a critical gap in current quantum computing workflows that rely heavily on manual, gate-level circuit design and verification. This research aims to democratize quantum computing access by enabling domain experts without deep quantum expertise to leverage quantum computing power for applications in chemistry, finance, cryptography, and machine learning. Beyond technical framework development, the project includes educational components compiled for public access to help beginners understand quantum system design and functionality. By establishing quantum EDA tools analogous to classical EDA's revolutionary impact on silicon-based hardware design, this work bridges quantum hardware physics and quantum algorithm computer science. The NSF Engineering directorate's support reflects the program's focus on fundamental engineering research advancing innovation and national economic competitiveness through investigator-initiated research, with typical awards in this domain ranging from $350 thousand to $720 thousand over three to five-year periods.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
