The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) awarded a $590,442 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800) on February 1, 2025. The grant supports the development of a cryogenic system to investigate trapped-electron quantum computing, a critical capability for maintaining technological superiority in areas relevant to the U.S. Air Force and Space Force. The project, titled "(DURIP) CRYOGENIC SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING TRAPPED-ELECTRON QUANTUM COMPUTING," will be conducted at UC Berkeley and is expected to be completed by January 31, 2026. The Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program funds innovative research across diverse scientific and engineering disciplines to prevent technological surprise and create strategic advantages for the U.S. military.
