HR001119S0052 Abstract 5

Abstract Summary Slide [Using the Abstract Summary Slide template provided as an attachment to the BAA, provide a summary in PowerPoint that effectively and succinctly conveys the main objective, key innovations, expected impact, and other unique aspects of the proposed project. Include the PowerPoint slide as a separate attachment to this document.]

Goals and Impact [Describe what is being proposed and what difference it will make (qualitatively and quantitatively) if successful clearly explaining the potential applications that it could impact. Describe the innovative aspects of the project in the context of existing capabilities and approaches, clearly delineating the relationship of this work to any other projects from the past and present.]

Technical Plan [Provide answers to the following questions:

· What is the proposed work attempting to accomplish or do?

· How is it done today, and what are the limitations?

· Who will care and what will the impact be if the work is successful?

· How much will it cost, and how long will it take?

Outline and address technical challenges inherent in the approach and possible solutions for overcoming potential problems. Provide appropriate measurable milestones (quantitative if possible) at intermediate stages of the project to demonstrate progress, and a plan for achieving the milestones.

For TA1 proposers: Ensure that as part of your submission you address the following:

· Specify which combinatorial optimization problem will be solved and describe its national security relevance

· Describe the NISQ hardware that will be developed and used, as well as how its capabilities will be scaled up to achieve the program objectives

· Describe how the chosen hybrid algorithm will be implemented, characterized and benchmarked

For TA2 proposers: Describe which subarea(s) you propose to address and provide a clear path to meeting the corresponding program milestones.]

Capabilities/Management Plan [Provide a brief summary of expertise of the team, including subawardees and key personnel. While teaming arrangements do not need to be finalized at the time of abstract submission, mention of potential teaming/collaboration arrangements is highly encouraged. Identify a principal investigator for the project and include a description of the team’s organization including roles and responsibilities.]

Cost and Schedule [Provide a cost estimate for resources (e.g., labor, materials) and any subawardees over the entire program (base + options), broken down by Government Fiscal Year]

Bibliography (Optional) [Provide a brief (no more than 2 pages) bibliography with links to relevant papers, references, reports, resumes of key team members, etc.]
