Simon Catterall is the PI for a new DoE subaward “Foundations of Quantum Computing for Gauge Theories and Quantum Gravity”. Eight universities are involved in a $1.3 M effort led by University of Iowa. Anticipated expenditures at Syracuse are $130 k over 2 years. Note that this is an award for research on using quantum computers to do theoretical physics; Syracuse also has a substantial effort related to actually making quantum computers.
