THE GOAL OF BAA HR001123S0050 FOR SYNQUANON IS TO SEEK INNOVATIVE RESEARCH PROPOSALS IN THE AREA OF SYNTHETIC QUANTUM MATERIALS THAT ENABLE ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITIES OR NOVEL CAPABILITIES FOR QUANTUM INFORMATION SCIENCE (QIS). IN PARTICULAR, THE SYNQUANON PROGRAM AIMS TO DEVELOP AND BENCHMARK NOVEL ROUTES TO ENHANCED SUPERCONDUCTING NANOELECTRONIC DEVICES BASED ON ELECTRONIC METAMATERIALS. THE SYNQUANON PROGRAM AIMS TO RE-IMAGINE THE DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL QUANTUM ELECTRONIC MATERIALS FROM A DEVICE-ORIENTED PERSPECTIVE. SUCCESSFUL TEAMS IN THIS PROGRAM WILL DEMONSTRATE THE FUNCTIONAL ENGINEERING OF SYNTHETIC ELECTRONIC MATERIALS THAT CAN ENABLE ENHANCED OR NOVEL CAPABILITIES IN QIS.
