Description

The DOE SC program in High Energy Physics (HEP) hereby announces its interest in receiving interdisciplinary applications for Pioneering Pilots proposing open scientific research on Quantum Information Science (QIS) Enabled Discovery (QuantISED) to understand how the universe works at its most fundamental level [1]. The QIS thrust within HEP has been developed over the last few years [2-4] and is aligned with a broader SC initiative in QIS and coordinated with various national and interagency programs [5] in QIS, including quantum computing and QIS technology. Transcending the traditional frontiers and thrusts of the HEP program, the QIS thrust exploits the interdisciplinary nature of QIS and associated partnerships for exploratory, early stage research for high impact discovery along HEP science drivers, foundational QIS, and the national QIS enterprise. Such research is intended to create a public benefit by increasing human understanding of the physical universe. Submitted applications must follow ALL the guidelines and criteria provided in the supplementary information below and the following sections. Letters of Intent (LOIs) must be submitted according to the guidelines in the following sections. Applications that have not been encouraged after LOI submission may be declined without merit review.
