About the company
Unitary Fund, a nonprofit research organization based in Princeton, New Jersey, is a federal grant recipient that develops and sustains open-source quantum software ecosystems, operating exclusively as a prime recipient with no federal contract footprint or subcontract work.
Unitary Fund's federal grant activity is concentrated within the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy Office of Science, each funding two awards (100% coverage across the portfolio). The organization operates as a pure research recipient with no direct federal contracting capability — all four awards in the source data are project grants rather than contracts. The NSF represents the primary grant functor, supporting two major ecosystem development initiatives: a $298,693 Phase I award under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) beginning May 1, 2026, and a Phase II award for the Mitiq open-source ecosystem for quantum error mitigation that completed July 31, 2025. The Department of Energy Office of Science funds a "Smart Stack" initiative on scalable, modular quantum stack design running through August 31, 2027.
Unitary Fund's core work centers on building and sustaining open-source Python libraries for quantum computing — specifically the Unitary Compiler Collection (UCC) and Mitiq, a cross-platform quantum error-mitigation compiler. The NSF Phase I grant (May 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027) funds structured ecosystem discovery, shared technical infrastructure development including automated benchmarking and modular integration interfaces, and community coordination through documentation, contributor onboarding, and hardware-provider integration playbooks. The Phase II Mitiq OSE effort expanded quantum error mitigation tools to improve robustness in noisy intermediate-scale quantum hardware, with applications to materials simulation, quantum-system time evolution, and processor benchmarking. Total obligated dollars across all four awards amount to $4.3 million. Two awards face completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face potential recompete. The organization does not compete for federal contracts, IDIQs, or GWACs and maintains no prime contracting vehicle positions or subcontractor relationships within federal prime contracts.
