The DOE SC program in Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) announces its interest in receiving applications that advance the field of quantum computing by developing enabling end-to-end software infrastructures. This FOA solicits applications from large cross-disciplinary teams that will advance computer science toward a software stack that is ready to leverage multiple quantum technologies, or will develop mathematical foundations, algorithms, and software tools toward quantum utility demonstration for applications within the DOE mission. Topic 1 – Modular Software Stack Topic 2 – Quantum Utility. Award amount max USD 15,000,000 Award amount min USD 1,250,000 Amount note The exact number of awards will depend on the number of meritorious applications and the availability of appropriated funds. DOE anticipates making awards with a project period of 5 years.
