CHTM Joins NSF's NQVL Pilot Projects
August 9, 2024
The U.S. National Science Foundation earlier today announced that they will be investing $5 million across 5 pilot projects to help reach the milestone in realizing practical advantages and societal benefits from quantum scale phenomena. These projects are the first steps towards creating the NSF National Quantum Virtual Laboratory (NQVL): a first-of-its-kind national resource enabling faster dicovery and development of use-inspired quantum technologies.
The pilot project, Quantum Computing Applications of Photonics (QCAP) is led by principal investigator Marek Osinski, a distinguished professor of electrical computer engineering. He is in collaboration with co-investigators Ganesh Balakrishnan, director of NM EPSCoR and professor of electrical computer engineering; Lizandra Godwin, assistant professor of electrical computer engineering; and Tara Drake, assistant professor of physics and astronomy.
"The NSF National Quantum Virtual Laboratory represents a new approach NSF is taking to facilitate the complex and multistep process of translating new scientific ideas into fully developed technologies that benefit society," says Denise Caldwell, NSF Assitsant Director for Math and Physical Sciences. Caldwell also states "As a shared national resource, NQVL will also surmount the limitations inherent in using solely brick and mortar facilities — any qualified researcher or student can participate, regardless of where they are in the U.S."

Led by the University of New Mexico in collaboration with New Mexico State University, Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Skorpios Technologies Inc. and Hoonify Technologies Inc., the team's goal is to make quantum computers on chips using monolithically integrated quantum photonics to eventually develop this technology into a commercially viable product through partnership with industry.
