The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), through its Health Science Futures Office, has issued Special Notice ARPA-H-SN-26-162 to announce the UNifying Imaging with QUantum Entanglement (UNIQUE) program. This initiative aims to establish a new biomedical imaging paradigm by utilizing quantum-derived observables, specifically entangled or quantum-correlated 511 keV photon pairs, to reveal disease biology that is currently invisible to existing technologies. The program is divided into two primary technical areas: the Imaging Core, which focuses on the physical systems and detectors required to generate and measure quantum-derived imaging contrast, and Quantum AI Interpretation and Fusion, which focuses on developing AI-driven reconstruction methods to integrate these observables into multidimensional imaging representations. This special notice serves as an informational alert and does not constitute a formal solicitation. It announces a hybrid Proposers Day scheduled for October 15, 2026, to prepare the scientific community for an upcoming Innovative Solutions Opening (ISO) expected by September 18, 2026. Interested parties are invited to submit a single-slide lightning talk presentation via the designated teaming profile form by September 22, 2026, to showcase their capabilities and teaming goals.
