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.
