Yale Officials Say $4 Million NSF Grant Will Boost Unique Approach to Quantum Computing

Insider Brief

Yale-led ERASE received a $4 million NSF grant to begin a two-year second phase aimed at developing a blueprint for a large-scale, error-correcting quantum computer.

The project focuses on erasure qubits that can flag dominant errors when they occur, potentially making quantum error correction easier to manage.

ERASE will expand research, software, algorithm and workforce-development efforts with partners including D-Wave Quantum, Princeton, the University of Maryland and Southern Connecticut State University.

PRESS RELEASE — A Yale-led project — aided by a national community of researchers — has reached the next step in its effort to develop the first large-scale, error-correcting quantum computer.
