Grants to Israel Companies for Research and Development Centers Focused on Quantum Computing
Access to Quantum Computing Research and Development (R&D) Infrastructure
This call for proposals invites grant applications for the purpose of establishing or providing access to R&D infrastructure in the field of quantum computing. The R&D infrastructure will serve to accelerate research and development processes in Israel in quantum computing across all of its components and layers – hardware and qubits, control and measurement, error correction, software and algorithms, user interface, and quantum-computer-based applications. This infrastructure will provide R&D services, including access to quantum computing hardware for Israeli corporations or Israeli research institutions active in the field, and will serve as a center for the evaluation, integration, and adoption of quantum computing technologies for Israeli industry.
The purpose of this call for proposals is to establish R&D infrastructure for the evaluation, integration, and adoption of quantum computing technologies for Israeli industry. This infrastructure will include at least three different quantum processing technologies (see the link regarding the definition of different quantum computing technologies) and will serve, among other things, as a knowledge center and provide R&D services for Israeli corporations and Israeli research institutions.
The infrastructure must provide unique value as an integrative laboratory for multiple quantum computing technologies and include the following R&D services:
- Benchmarking and technology comparison
- Development and testing of quantum algorithms
- Development of quantum software and infrastructure
- Experiments and demonstrations (Proof of Concept)
- Development of error-correction and control methods
- System integration
- Industry services and knowledge transfer
- Training and workforce development
For examples of each service, see the Full Grant Text RFP Page.
Who is the incentive program for?
• Companies engaged in providing services or infrastructure essential for the establishment of R&D projects.
• Companies interested in designated infrastructure equipment in order to provide innovative R&D services to different corporations.
• An association of users interested in establishing a joint R&D infrastructure and making it accessible to the entire R&D industry.
