The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Advanced
Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) announces its interest in receiving
applications to improve our understanding of whether, when, and how
quantum computing might
advance the frontiers of computational science. Specifically, the
purpose of this FOA is to invite applications for basic research to
address the following questions:
1. What can fundamental physical limits on quantum processors tell us about what quantum computers can and cannot do?
2. How can we use Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices to
move our understanding of when and how quantum computers might be useful
as far forward as possible?
3. How can we assess the utility of a
given (existing or hypothetical) quantum processor for advancing the
frontiers of computational science?
Applications may address any combination of these themes. Anticipated Funding: $50,000-$300,000 for a single institution; $50,000-$600,000 for a multi-institution team. Type of Applications: Only new applications will be accepted.
