Notice Title

UKRI-1241 NQCC WP1 High Fidelity Two-Qubit Microwave Gates

Notice Description

This tender is related to UKRI-1241 NQCC WP1 High Fidelity Two-Quibit Microwave Gates. The National Quantum Computing Centre has an objective to deliver an early-stage quantum computer (Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum, NISQ machine) that can outperform conventional computing for a range of tasks, by 2025.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The NQCC has developed a technology roadmap, and has identified a series of technical work packages (WPs) that are suitable for delivery by external contractors. These WPs focus on the delivery of technology solutions according to a set of required technical performance specifications, for both hardware and software, related to quantum computing. The NQCC intends to hold an event to inform potential suppliers of the tendering process and requirements for two work packages related to ion trap systems: WP1 - High Fidelity Two-Qubit Microwave Gates for Ion Traps. WP1 involves (i) the development of an in-lab demonstrator comprising an ion trap system with RF/microwave-controlled two-qubit gates at or beyond the fidelity of laser-driven gates, and (ii) a paper-based study describing a means to use the basic gate mechanism demonstrated in this two-qubit device for a future scaled system with 1000+ ions. WP2 - Ion Processor Fully Controlling 10+ Qubits. Additional information: The Supplier Event for both WP1 and WP2 is being held on 12:00pm 13th July 2021. Suppliers are to confirm whether they will be attending the Supplier Event by emailing their contact name, organisation name and conatct details to Elizabeth.Gage@ukri.org no later than Thursday 8th July 2021.
