The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.K. Research and Innovation (UKRI) have announced a collaboration involving eight projects funded with $10 million to research quantum information science (QIS) applied to chemistry.

The partnership aims to develop molecular-based qubits and enhance technologies in quantum computing, sensing, and communications. This effort aligns with national security interests, as detailed in the National Quantum Initiative Act signed in 2018.

The NSF partnership announcement noted the significance of collaboration in advancing transformative quantum technologies. Key participants include chemists and quantum information researchers.
