The University of New Mexico was awarded a $241,884 project grant from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory to develop efficient numerical methods for studying the complexity versus robustness tradeoff in noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) information processors. The grant was awarded on September 15, 2022 under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA #12.800) and will be completed by September 14, 2023.
The Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program aims to maintain technological superiority in scientific areas relevant to Air Force needs and prevent technological surprise. This particular award will support research at The University of New Mexico to analyze complexity and robustness in NISQ processors, which are early-stage quantum computers currently limited by noise but still useful for specific applications. The numerical methods developed under this project grant could help optimize performance as NISQ technologies continue to advance.
