DARPA (MTO): Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Topic (QBIT) Stage A- Plausibility

QBIT aims to examine approaches to constructing a utility-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer and computational workflows that include quantum compute steps. Proposed research should investigate approaches that enable revolutionary advances in design, engineering, testing, and evaluation of such systems.

Stage A will focus on the performer’s concept for a “utility-scale” quantum computer (USQC).
