DARPA Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI)
Funds United States quantum technology research aiming for scalable, error-corrected computing breakthroughs.
The DARPA Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) is a multi-phase program administered by the Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) with the goal of determining whether utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers can be built by 2033. QBI is structured as a competitive technical evaluation rather than a conventional research grant: selected performers move through staged technical reviews with q…
Constructing utility-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers and computational workflows that include quantum compute steps. Includes independent verification and validation tracks.
