## Description

The Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) - Office of the Principal Director of Quantum Science is investigating near term applications on quantum computing. Washington Headquarters Services Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD) seeks to identify technologies geared specifically toward defense applications utilizing quantum computing or quantum-hybrid capabilities. The goal of this RFI is to identify near-term U.S Industry quantum computing based applications likely to provide differentiating capability for applications relevant to the DoD. Examples of potential defense application areas include, but not limited to:

Quantum machine learning; Materials design; Quantum chemistry simulation; Simulation of physical systems; Solving optimization problems. Quantum computing includes problems solved on hardware that is primarily quantum-based or a hybrid combination of quantum and non-quantum hardware. Quantum computing can be gate-based or non gate-based. Applications can be heuristic or algorithm based.

Amendment 001 dated August 1, 2024 corrects the due date in Submission Instructions.
