About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded an Other Transaction IDV to Atlantic Quantum Corp on April 1, 2025, with a ceiling value of $1,000,000 and no set-aside restrictions. This indefinite delivery vehicle supports the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative—Stage A, which focuses on advancing quantum computing capabilities through benchmarking methodologies and performance evaluation frameworks. Atlantic Quantum Corp, a small for-profit technology company headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, brings specialized expertise in quantum computing hardware and software development. The company has demonstrated relevant experience through previous federal contract awards from the Air Force Research Laboratory involving quantum processor infrastructure, control systems, and ultralow-loss quantum amplifier readout technologies valued between $109,662 and $1,799,976.
Under this IDV structure, Atlantic Quantum Corp will deliver products and services supporting quantum benchmarking research aligned with DARPA's strategic defense technology objectives. The contractor's existing capabilities in quantum processor development, baseband control hardware, and quantum system calibration and validation directly support the technical requirements of Stage A activities. The Other Transaction authority utilized for this award provides DARPA with contractual flexibility typical of research and development initiatives requiring rapid innovation cycles. Task orders issued under this vehicle will define specific deliverables, performance metrics, and period-of-performance timelines as benchmarking initiatives progress, enabling the agency to efficiently manage research activities while leveraging the prime contractor's demonstrated quantum computing expertise.
