This program provides funding to local food businesses in Nevada to strengthen the food supply chain and support projects that enhance processing, distribution, and infrastructure in distressed communities.

The INQS program is a collaboration between AFOSR and LPS, and we seek revolutionary qubit approaches to quantum computation that have the potential to significantly advance scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) beyond current state-of-the-art methods. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites proposals for basic research into solid-state qubits for quantum computing at various stages of maturity. Qubits of interest may support one or more of the required functions in a FTQC system. These functions may include, but are not limited to, data processing, memory storage, communication, spectator roles, or measurement. Proposals should clearly address: (1) the function(s) the qubit is expected to serve, (2) how it can be integrated into a plausible FTQC system, and (3) its potential to advance toward qubits suitable for FTQC. Furthermore, proposals must align with one of the following themes: Theme 1: New Qubits This theme explores completely novel or underdeveloped qubits that have both a credible research path toward utility in an FTQC system and promising advantages over current state-of-the-art methods. Theme 2: Renew Qubits This theme focuses on applying unconventional approachessuch as novel qubit operation techniques, fabrication methods, or designsto significantly advance specific qubit functions in state-of-the-art quantum processors1 for utility in plausible FTQC systems. This opportunity seeks to fund proposals in two (2) specific theme areas. Please see the announcement for more information.
