Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs received a $437,479 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), effective August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029. The award supports fundamental research on hybrid-variable topological quantum error correction (QEC), which addresses the challenge of protecting quantum information from environmental noise in quantum computing systems. The project advances topological QEC beyond purely digital quantum architectures by developing new classes of two-dimensional hybrid quantum codes that combine both digital and analog quantum variables, thereby achieving greater computational flexibility and efficiency for fault-tolerant quantum information storage and processing. The research initiative, conducted at Cornell's Ithaca, New York campus, pursues three coordinated research thrusts: developing new topological quantum codes using anyon condensation and symmetry gauging frameworks; establishing new protocols for implementing hybrid-variable systems; and exploring prospective physical implementations. Beyond the core research deliverables, the project contributes to workforce development through interdisciplinary graduate and postdoctoral training at the intersection of quantum information science and quantum many-body physics, strengthening the quantum computing workforce for future scientific and technological advances.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
