Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) Future Opportunity Special Notice

The purpose of this Special Notice (SN) is to provide public notification of additional research areas of interest to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Microsystems Technology Office (MTO), specifically for the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) program. It has been credibly hypothesized – but not proven – that quantum computers will have a transformative impact on a variety of scientific and technical disciplines. DARPA is interested in innovative approaches to constructing a utility-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer and applications that can run on those machines.
