Insider Brief
Google opened academic research awards focused on quantum algorithms for early fault-tolerant quantum computers and quantum computing security.
The program seeks proposals that reduce logical qubit, gate and error-correction requirements while showing a credible advantage over classical computing.
Awards will generally provide up to $100,000, with applications due Aug. 7 and decisions expected by Oct. 30.
Google is seeking university researchers to help solve two of quantum computing’s most immediate challenges, launching academic funding calls focused on developing useful algorithms for early fault-tolerant quantum computers and securing the systems that control them.
