The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded the University of Maryland, College Park $988,344 on August 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to conduct research on quantum algorithms for finding versus detecting solutions to computational problems. The project explores the interplay between determining whether a solution exists to a computational problem and actually finding such a solution, with the goal of advancing understanding of quantum algorithm design and capabilities. Research will proceed along three main threads: studying path-finding in graphs, including investigation of whether quantum computers can efficiently navigate a welded tree graph exponentially faster than classical algorithms; establishing the fastest possible algorithms for finding paths between designated vertices in arbitrary graphs; and comparing path-finding tasks with merely detecting whether a solution exists. The project will also support development of the quantum workforce through student training. Performance occurs at College Park, Maryland, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2030. The University of Maryland, College Park operates through its Office of Research Administration & Advancement as the recipient, with the University System of Maryland as the parent entity.
