The U.
S.
Army Research Office (ARO) in partnership with the National Security Agency (NSA) is soliciting proposals for research in Trapped Ion Qubits.
This BAA has three research goals; (a) substantially reduce noise levels detrimental to high fidelity gates in trapped ion systems
credit:
and to improve the stability of these gates once achieved; (b) explore novel quantum information encoding schemes and/or entanglement generation schemes with trapped ion systems; (c) development of critical supporting technology required for successful highly stable high fidelity trapped ion systems.
Proposals are sought that address one of the three BAA goals:
1.
Highly stable high fidelity trapped ion systems 2.
Novel encoding and entanglement generation schemes 3.
Key supporting technology to enable highly stable high fidelity trapped ion systems
