Wave-Based Computing Research and Innovation Emerging Frontiers Service

The government authority in Washington, DC, requires a vendor to provide wave-based computing research and innovation emerging frontiers services. The buyer needs wave-based computational accelerators to replace digital computing and operate alongside traditional programmable digital computers. Requested scope includes miniaturized chiplets and chip-scale integration to design and demonstrate compact integrated devices for advanced information processing. The scope also encompasses multiplexed architectures for compact parallel computing utilizing metasurfaces, integrated photonics, transducer-based systems, or other scalable approaches. Additionally, the vendor must perform heterogeneous integration across multistage and multilevel platforms, which may involve combining different media and integrating multiple frequency regimes. The buyer restricts eligibility to USA organizations only. The vendor will perform all work offsite. The buyer is currently looking for proposals and provides no specific budget amount or key dates in the supplied text.
