Quantum Sensor Signal Processing Development

The contract seeks the development and integration of pseudorandom phase-encoding algorithms into quantum sensing systems to enhance signal-to-noise ratio under conditions of high electromagnetic interference. The work focuses on advancing quantum sensor performance by introducing novel signal processing techniques that leverage algorithmic phase modulation to isolate weak quantum signals from noisy backgrounds, enabling more precise measurements in real-world operational environments. This effort is critical for applications requiring high-fidelity quantum readings where conventional filtering methods fall short. The contract is a subcontract under the Department of Energy, with performance based in Los Alamos, New Mexico, at the 87545 zip code. It is classified under NAICS code 541715, indicating it relates to research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences. The solicitation was posted on June 24, 2026, with a response deadline of December 23, 2026. The project is part of a broader initiative to strengthen national capabilities in quantum sensing technology and is positioned to support mission-critical operations where environmental noise compromises sensor reliability.
