About this opportunity

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is seeking innovative proposals for the Enhancing Quantum Sensor Technologies with Rydberg Atoms (EQSTRA) program. This federal grant opportunity aims to significantly advance the performance, capabilities, and Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of atomic vapor sensors for applications in electric field sensing, imaging, communications, and quantum information science. Key focus areas include developing tunable terahertz sources, low-SWaP integrated photonics, and wafer-scale vapor cells. Abstracts are due by June 18, 2024 and full proposals by July 30, 2024. Proposals will be evaluated on factors such as technical merit, innovation, and feasibility of the proposed approach.

Multiple awards are anticipated in the form of cooperative agreements, procurement contracts, and other transaction agreements, funded under DARPA's Research and Technology Development program (CFDA 12.910). The specific award values or budget ranges have not been disclosed, but the solicitation is seeking revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems rather than evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.

Synopsis

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.
