Insider Brief
Yale will lead a $37.5 million NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institute focused on developing practical approaches to quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing.
The five-year NSF PRACTIQAL center will bring together physicists, engineers, computer scientists and chemists to address challenges across quantum hardware, control electronics, error-correction codes and algorithms.
The research will focus on making error correction more efficient and scalable, including through the development of specialized erasure qubits that can identify when and where errors occur.
Press release – A Yale-led multidisciplinary team of researchers has been awarded a $37.5 million grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) for a center aimed at designing practical and self-correcting quantum computers from top to bottom and pointing the way forward for industry to build reliable machines.
