DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office is seeking information on concepts that leverage quantum entanglement in sensing applications.
Through this RFI, DARPA seeks to understand the opportunities and underlying challenges to achieve new classes of sensors enabled by quantum entanglement.
General topics of interest include
- Theoretical analysis applying entanglement to the operation of sensors
- Identification of specific quantum media or types of sensors where entanglement can provide new capabilities
- System analysis of the “entanglement advantages” that such concepts offer over quantum sensors that do not leverage entanglement and over classical methods of combining sensors (ie sensor fusion)
- Theoretical analysis showing applications wherein entanglement-based sensors outperform other types of quantum or classical sensors
- Analysis of sensing variables made less sensitive by entanglement, as such methods may be useful to decrease noise
- Novel theoretical or experimental approaches to incorporate multiple entangled sensors (ie heterogeneous quantum sensing).
RFI responses are due 15 January 2025, via email to DARPA-SN-25-18@darpa.mil.
