DOE requests stakeholder input on quantum and classical HPC testbed initiatives

DOE is gathering stakeholder input to guide planning for two quantum-computing testbed initiatives. - Notice type: Request for Information (RFI) for planning and market research; it is not a solicitation or award. - Initiatives: A cryogenic testbed for developing and testing quantum technologies and classical logic, and a progressively scalable testbed that integrates quantum computing and technologies with classical high-performance computing (HPC). - Input sought: Feedback from industry, researchers, potential users, vendors, and other stakeholders on capabilities and partnerships, including technologies that could support integrated quantum computing and HPC and progress toward fault-tolerant quantum computing. - Procurement details: No specific products, services, quantities, vendors, budget, or contract period are identified.

Description

The United States Department of Energy (DOE) invites public comment on its Request for Information regarding national needs for two interconnected testbed initiatives:  (1) A cryogenic testbed for developing, testing, and advancing quantum technologies and classical logic, and (2) A testbed for integrating quantum computing and quantum technologies with classical high-performance computing (HPC) assets that are progressively scalable.

This RFI solicits feedback from industry, research entities, and other stakeholders to guide DOE’s strategic planning for a DOE testbed that can support development of both classical and quantum technologies, including development of integrated quantum computing and HPC technologies for fault-tolerant quantum computing.  DOE seeks input from potentially interested users and vendors.
