Quantum Software and Compiler Development

The contract seeks the design and development of quantum software environments, compilers, and control systems capable of executing complex quantum circuits involving at least 100,000 hard operations on fault-tolerant quantum computing platforms. This effort is focused on creating foundational software infrastructure that bridges theoretical quantum algorithms with practical hardware execution, requiring advanced expertise in quantum information science, compiler optimization, and real-time control systems. The work must address challenges in error mitigation, circuit partitioning, resource allocation, and scalable architecture integration to enable reliable operation on next-generation quantum hardware. The contract is designated as a subcontract under the NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services and is issued by the Department of Energy through its Oak Ridge Office. Proposals are due by June 10, 2026, with performance expected to occur at a location with a zip code of 20585. The solicitation does not specify a set-aside designation or point of contact, and all submissions must align with the technical scope of enabling high-fidelity, large-scale quantum computation through innovative software and control system engineering.
