Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0003482
The **Quantum Computing for Computational Chemistry (QC3)** program, launched by ARPA-E within the Department of Energy, aims to leverage quantum computing to revolutionize computational chemistry and materials science for energy applications. Classical computers struggle with accurately simulating quantum systems, limiting progress in critical areas like catalysis, battery chemistry, and superconductors. QC3 seeks to overcome these challenges by developing scalable quantum algorithms that can outperform classical methods by 100x in speed, accuracy, or problem size.
A major goal of QC3 is to validate quantum chemistry algorithms using quantum computers with around 100 logical qubits, demonstrating practical advantages over classical simulation techniques. The program emphasizes optimizing the **full quantum computational stack**, from identifying energy-relevant problems to refining quantum algorithms and ensuring compatibility with quantum hardware.
Key application areas include: - **Catalysts**: Designing efficient catalysts to reduce energy consumption and emissions. - **X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS)**: Improving material diagnostics for batteries and nuclear fuels. - **Superconductors**: Accelerating the discovery of high-temperature superconducting materials. - **Battery Chemistry**: Enhancing the performance and lifespan of next-generation batteries. - **Earth-Abundant Magnetic Materials**: Designing alternatives to rare-earth magnets crucial for clean energy technologies.
To participate, applicants must submit proposals through **ARPA-E eXCHANGE**, with additional details available at [arpa-e-foa.energy.gov](https://arpa-e-foa.energy.gov). The program supports **high-risk, high-reward** R&D efforts with the potential to drive transformative advancements in quantum computing for energy innovation.Apply for DE FOA 0003482
