NSF announces increased support for capacity building in quantum information science and engineering research

The NSF Expanding Capacity in Quantum Information Science and Engineering program supports work in quantum fundamentals; metrology and control; co-design and systems; and education and workforce development. NSF invested $21,397,566 in 2022 ExpandQISE awards. Recipients from EPSCoR jurisdictions include:

Track 1 (awards are for individuals conducting research with an external partner that has extensive experience. Awardees will receive up to $800,000 over a period of up to three years):

• Virtual Quantum Networks: From Foundations to Field Tests; The University of ALABAMA in Huntsville

Track 2 (awards are for teams of up to five people paired with external research collaborators with deep QISE research experience. Awardees will be granted up to $5 million over a duration of up to five years):

• Developing Research and Education Programs in Quantum Information Science and Engineering with Research on Locally Tunable 2D Topological Superconductors; University of WYOMING
  
• QuAPB, Expanding Quantum Research and Education at the University of ARKANSAS at Pine Bluff
