NSF opportunity for CS, quantum physicists, and engineers

[Charles Maris]

Greetings, Engineers,

NSF has an exciting grant opportunity for collaborative research
between TWO institutions. The grant program is for interdisciplinary
research to "...explore the power of quantum computation and its
impact on computer science, advance knowledge on the fundamental
limits of quantum computation and systems, and explore advances in
physical realization of quantum systems..."

Furthermore, "The PI (referred to as the scholar) must be in a tenured
faculty position in his or her US home institution and must be
prepared to spend a minimum of one contiguous semester with the host's
group. Scholar and host must be from substantially different
intellectual backgrounds, such that the collaborative activity
represents a broadening of experience and a bone fide change in the
scholar's research direction. Scholar and host must also be based in
different institutions, so that the interaction with the host research
group represents a full immersion and not a part-time activity.
Requests from scholars wishing to visit well-established research
groups and centers in Quantum Information Science are particularly
welcome."

Interested faculty should read this: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2012/nsf12540/nsf12540.htm
and get in touch with OSP.

Best,
Your OSP.
