Researchers will employ a small,...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $298,185 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to establish a Diamond Quantum Control Testbed. The Testbed will provide researchers access to a multi-qubit quantum processor based on a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond. Low temperature and resonant laser control of the quantum bits will enable single shot readout of the quantum register. As part of the Quantum Technologies...

This two-year, $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at Washington University in City, Missouri to develop a quantum tunneling-based framework for zero side-channel key generation and distribution. The Engineering Directorate program seeks to advance engineering innovation and excellence. Specifically, the university researchers will investigate using an array of self-powered, phase-locked timers that operate via Fowler-Nordheim quantum tunneling to emulate...

This $400,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at the University of Maryland, College Park to develop optically active quantum bits (qubits) in silicon. The goal is to create scalable quantum devices by integrating these silicon-based qubits with nanophotonic engineering and microwave control. The research will focus on a silicon color center called the "T center" which can exhibit efficient optical...

The National Science Foundation awarded Virginia Commonwealth University a $800,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop energy efficient quantum control of robust spin ensemble qubits. The three-year award will support research to simulate and demonstrate highly localized control of qubits using nanomagnets driven by electric fields at spin qubit Larmor frequencies. This aims to implement single-qubit quantum gates with high fidelities...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $135,000 supports research toward universal quantum computing with integrated quantum optical frequency combs through August 2025. Funded under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), this award to the University of Virginia will support collaborative research to demonstrate generation of continuous variable cluster states and Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill grid states on a photonic chip. Key objectives are to realize a chip-scale quantum state...
