About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded Universities Space Research Association an Other Transaction IDV on March 9, 2020 for Optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum Devices. The potential value of the IDV is $9,801,473. No set-aside was used in the award.
Under this IDV, Universities Space Research Association will conduct research into optimization techniques that can help solve practical problems using noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. As the funding agency for advanced defense research, DARPA aims to develop new technologies through this contract that could help address national security challenges. Optimization algorithms tailored for near-term quantum hardware have applications in logistics, machine learning, and other domains relevant to the DARPA mission. The period of performance and places of performance for task orders issued against this IDV were not specified.
This IDV provides a vehicle for DARPA to task Universities Space Research Association with further research into optimization methods robust to noise and limitations of quantum devices containing dozens to hundreds of qubits. By leveraging the contractor's expertise in both quantum information science and applications relevant to national security, DARPA hopes to help accelerate the development of practical optimization capabilities using emerging quantum technologies under real-world constraints.
