The QUIEST Center is delighted to announce that we will be running a second year call for seed project proposals in order to further expand our support of quantum research by PIs within the Penn community. As with our previous cycle, proposed projects should address one or more of the Center’s priority research areas:
- Materials for QUIEST – Synthesis, characterization, and optimization of materials for the storage, manipulation, or transduction of quantum information.
- Quantum Devices – Design and realization of new quantum processors, quantum sensors, and quantum interconnects, especially in combination with integrated electronics and photonics architectures.
- Quantum Systems – Theory of quantum information processing, new architectures for intermediate-scale and fault-tolerant quantum processors, and quantum networking.
- QUIEST Impact – Optimization and application of quantum sensors for materials science, chemistry, biology, and medicine; the use of quantum computers for materials design and data science.
We are especially interested in supporting multi-investigator collaborations that will address a significant problem by generating preliminary evidence or establishing key capabilities that will support full-scale, externally funded research projects in QUIEST.
Please view the full Call for Seed Proposals document below for details on selection criteria, eligibility, and application requirements.
The deadline for submitting proposals will be Dec. 15, 2024.
Thank you for your continued support of the QUIEST Center! We look forward to reading your proposals and supporting new cutting-edge ideas and research within the Penn quantum community.
For any questions relating to this call for proposals, please reach out to bmarian@seas.upenn.edu.
