QED-C Seeks Vice Chairs for Technical Advisory Committees 

QED-C is inviting expressions of interest for Vice Chair roles across its six Technical Advisory Committees (TACs). These leadership positions offer a meaningful way to contribute to the direction and impact of the consortium and the broader quantum ecosystem. 

 

Vice Chairs support the TAC Chairs in driving committee work forward—they help guide focus areas, encourage engagement from members, and connect committee discussions with QED-C leadership and initiatives. This is a unique opportunity to help shape priorities across key domains of quantum science and technology. 

 

If you're ready to lead and contribute to the growth of a vibrant, forward-looking industry, we’d like to hear from you.

Heterogeneous Architectures for Quantum (HARQ) 

Deadlines:

July 30, 2025 (Feedback on program) 

August 15, 2025 (RFI responses) 

DARPA Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) seeks information on capabilities, infrastructure, expertise, resources available to pursue the goals of the Heterogeneous Architectures for Quantum (HARQ) program. The principal objective of HARQ is to establish a new heterogeneous quantum computing (QC) paradigm that eliminates the constraints of homogeneous, single-qubit platforms. HARQ is structured to assess the plausibility of heterogeneous architectures and test whether they are inherently more scalable than homogeneous architectures through a concerted, multi-thrust effort.
