Enabling Quantum Leap: Convergent Accelerated Discovery Foundries for Quantum Materials Science, Engineering and Information
The Division of Materials Research (DMR), the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS), the Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems (ECCS), and the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) seek to rapidly accelerate quantum materials design, synthesis, characterization, and translation
of fundamental materials engineering and information research for quantum devices, systems, and networks.
The new program of Enabling Quantum Leap:
Convergent Accelerated Discovery Foundries for Quantum Materials Science, Engineering, and Information (Q-AMASE-i) aims to support these goals by establishing Foundries with mid-scale infrastructure for rapid prototyping and development of quantum materials and devices.
The new materials, devices, tools and methods developed by Q-AMASE-i will be shared with the science and engineering communities through a Foundry-operated network.
Technology transfer of Foundry activities will be enabled by close cooperation with industrial partners.
Six-year awards totaling $20,000,000 to $25,000,000 for the award period are anticipated.
Q-AMASE-i Foundries will be awarded as cooperative agreements with an initial commitment of six years, with the possibility of one six-year renewal, subsequent to a rigorous and favorable review by NSF.
The annual performance review includes NSF’s evaluation of the annual report after the first year, an annual site visit after the second and fourth year of Foundry activities, and a reverse or program management site visit after the third and fifth year.
Funding after the secondyear will depend on the quality of progress and performance documented during the site visits
of fundamental materials engineering and information research for quantum devices, systems, and networks.
