About this opportunity
Paragraph 1:
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking innovative proposals for the Enhancing Quantum Sensor Technologies with Rydberg Atoms (EQSTRA) program. DARPA's Defense Sciences Office is soliciting proposals that significantly advance the performance, capabilities, and Technology Readiness Level of atomic vapor sensors for applications such as electric field sensing, imaging, communications, and quantum information science. Specifically, the solicitation focuses on four key areas: development of terahertz radiation sources, low-SWaP and integrated photonics for Rydberg electrometers, wafer-scale vapor cells for wideband Rydberg electrometry, and concept and feasibility studies of Rydberg-based quantum technologies. Proposal abstracts are due by June 18, 2024, and full proposals are due by July 30, 2024.
Paragraph 2:
This opportunity is not set aside for any specific business type. DARPA anticipates making multiple awards in the form of cooperative agreements, procurement contracts, or other transaction agreements for prototypes, but the solicitation does not specify potential award values or budget ranges. The solicitation includes sample attachments such as an Associate Contractor Agreement clause, a DARPA Standard Cost Proposal Spreadsheet, and proposal instructions, indicating the program may involve collaboration among multiple contractors.
Notice text
The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals that significantly advance the performance, capabilities and the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of atomic vapor sensors for electric field sensing, imaging, communications, and quantum information science (QIS). Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
