Quantum Information Science (QIS)
Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) supports fundamental research for public benefit in quantum computing and networking relevant to DOE’s science and energy mission. Research opportunities were identified in the ASCR Reports, DOE ASCR Workshop on Quantum Computing for Science, ASCR Workshop on Quantum Computing Testbeds for Science, Quantum Networks for Open Science, and A Quantum Path Forward. ASCR’s workshop reports can be found here.
ASCR issued its first funding opportunities in quantum information science (QIS) in FY2017, with additional calls in subsequent years. The awards span quantum algorithms, software stack, and networks and range in size from single investigators to large teams at multiple institutions. In addition, ASCR supports QIS infrastructure for the research community through the Quantum Testbeds program in the Research and Evaluation Prototypes activity.
