Grant Description: This is the second BAA issued for this research topic from the Army Research Office and is valid throughout the period from the date of issuance through 31 July 2009. This announcement is equivalent to the Initial announcement, W911NF-08-R-0011 issued in July 2008. Innovative solutions are sought for the Coherent Superconducting Qubits Program within the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA). The Program is envisioned to begin May 1, 2009 and end by June 1, 2014. The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) and IARPA will conduct this BAA in close partnership. This BAA solicits proposals that will lead to substantially extended coherence times in superconducting qubits. If offerors elect to submit a white paper, it must be prepared in accordance with the instructions contained in PART IV. Section B.1. of the BAA. Upon receipt, a white paper will be evaluated and the offeror shall be advised of the evaluation results. Offerors whose white papers receive a favorable evaluation will be contacted and encouraged to prepare a complete proposal in accordance with instructions contained in PART IV Section B.2. White papers must be transmitted to the following e-mail address: tr.govindan@us.army.mil. The e-mail subject line should contain the following: W911NF-09-R-0007 Proposal White Paper. Two Levels of proposals are sought, with particular interest in application to the phase qubit: Level I proposals will seek to accomplish all of the following Program Goals: (1) fundamental understanding and insights into defects in superconducting qubits that currently limit coherence time and readout contrast; (2) means to characterize, measure and definitively discriminate between these separate defects; and (3) advanced materials, constructions and fabrication methods to eliminate these defects. Level II proposals will seek to accomplish Level I goals as well as the following additional Program Goal: (4) demonstrate substantially extended coherence times in superconducting qubits fabricated from foregoing developments. Proposals identified for negotiation may result in a contract or an assistance agreement depending upon the nature of the work proposed, the required degree of interaction between parties, and other factors. Technical point of contact for this BAA is Dr. T.R. Govindan, Physics Division, (919) 549-4236, email: tr.govindan@us.army.mil. The administrative officer is Mr. Ernest Dixon III, Army Contracting Activity, (919) 549-4270.
