This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program, CFDA 47.083, provides $539,000 to develop a Rydberg tweezer quantum processor with real-time optical cavity readout at the University of California, Berkeley from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023. The award will enable measurements of a portion of a complex quantum system while the remainder continues to evolve coherently. This will be realized using arrays of optically trapped single atoms with...

This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will support a comprehensive effort to advance quantum computing through a three-pronged approach: (1) analog quantum hardware development, (2) optimized compilation processes, and (3) research in quantum chemistry, condensed matter physics, and nuclear physics applications. The $607,310 award to Iowa State University will fund the construction of ion trap...

This three-year, $330,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support the development of a high-fidelity ternary quantum logic processor at the University of California, Berkeley. The central goal is to leverage the rich structure of superconducting circuits to create a processor utilizing a tunable coupling scheme for fast, high-fidelity two-qutrit gates. This will enable entanglement...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) program (CFDA 47.079), provides $450,000 in funding to Cornell University to develop integrated visible/ultraviolet (vis/UV) modulation capabilities for trapped-ion quantum systems. The project aims to enable efficient laser light modulation and delivery, which is a key challenge for scaling trapped-ion quantum computing and simulation beyond a few tens of qubits. The...

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...

This $2.46 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund research into interconnected superconducting and color center qubits in silicon devices from September 2021 through August 2025.
