Heterogenous Architectures For Quantum Aims To Unite Rival Approaches
DARPA has launched a new program, Heterogenous Architectures for Quantum (HARQ), to fund the development of hardware and software that can combine different quantum technologies into a single device. The program’s goal is to create a heterogenous architecture that can blend the best of multiple approaches, rather than relying on a single, perfect qubit species. With multiple awards of up to $2 million expected by Feb. 1, the program aims to fill the gaps in the private sector’s investments and provide new options for the quantum industry. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
