About this opportunity
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency seeks proposals through solicitation HR001121S0026 for innovative research in the areas of quantum benchmarking to quantify the long-term utility of quantum computers. Proposals are requested to focus on either creating application-specific, hardware-agnostic benchmarks or estimating hardware resource requirements. Proposals will be evaluated based on furthering the goals of the Quantum Benchmarking program, with a full proposal deadline of June 29, 2021.
There is no set-aside designation specified. The primary NAICS code is 541715 and PSC code is R425. Awards will take the form of contracts, cooperative agreements, or other transactions. Multiple awards are anticipated with up to $1.45M available for Phase 1 proposals addressing hardware-specific resource estimation and additional Phase 2 funding of up to $1.5M, though Phase 2 participation is not guaranteed. The period of performance is expected through 2024 with quarterly deliverables and an annual program review.
Notice text
The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of quantum benchmarking. Proposed research should quantify the long-term utility of quantum computers. In particular, proposed research should center around either (1) the creation of application-specific, hardware-agnostic benchmarks for quantum computer utility or (2) hardware resource estimation for quantum computers. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
