What the buyer needs
AI summaryThe United States Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science seeks public comment on national needs for two interconnected testbed initiatives. The first initiative is a cryogenic testbed for developing, testing, and advancing quantum technologies and classical logic, while the second integrates quantum computing and quantum technologies with progressively scalable classical high-performance computing assets. DOE requests input from potential users, including businesses of all sizes, academia, and national laboratories, as well as potential vendors such as businesses and research institutions interested in partnering with DOE and national laboratories. Responses will inform DOE’s strategic planning, program design, and future funding mechanisms for a testbed supporting classical, quantum, and fault-tolerant quantum computing technologies. Interested parties must submit voluntary responses to RFI 892431-27-RFI-0001 by December 17, 2026. Applicants may send questions to the DOE Office of Science at [email protected], and must mark any confidential or proprietary information according to specified email and cover sheet instructions.
