In a recent announcement, the DOE SC program in High Energy Physics (HEP) has expressed interest in receiving interdisciplinary applications for open scientific research in Quantum Information Science (QIS) Enabled Discovery (QuantISED) on May 9, 2024. This initiative is part of the HEP mission to understand the universe at its most fundamental level and further this goal by developing innovative solutions for scientific discovery.
The QIS subprogram within HEP was established over the past few years through workshops and funding opportunities in 2018 and 2019. It is aligned with a broader SC initiative in QIS and coordinated with national and interagency QIS programs, including the National QIS Research Centers. The subprogram aims to break traditional boundaries and focus areas by leveraging the interdisciplinary nature of QIS and strategic partnerships for exploratory, early-stage research.
Successful applications will contribute to QIS research and technology for public benefit, while also driving developments in foundational QIS and related scientific and technology research areas. The ultimate goal of such research is to benefit the public within the scope of HEP’s Congressionally-authorized mission, by increasing human understanding of the physical universe and advancing technologies that support this mission. More information about this opportunity can be found on their website.
