Photon-Efficient Nanoscale Optical Metrology (PhENOM)

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is issuing a Disruption Opportunity (DO), inviting submissions of innovative basic or applied research concepts in the technical domain of novel approaches to scalable preparation, control and error mitigation of quantum circuits of relevance to quantum-enhanced computing, sensing, and information processing. This DO is issued under the Program Announcement for Disruptioneering, DARPA-PA-23-03.

All awards will be made in the form of an Other Transaction (OT) for Prototype project. The total award value for the combined Phase 1 base (Feasibility Study) and Phase 2 option (Proof of Concept) is limited to $1,000,000. This total award value includes Government funding and performer cost share if required or proposed.
