Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program - Quantum Networks

The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) offers research opportunities in quantum networks at the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory. Experimental research focuses on creation and manipulation of entangled photonic states, entanglement manipulation and characterization, including fundamental properties of communication channels enabling quantum communication, loss and decoherence in quantum state transfer, and entanglement distribution. Theoretical research aims at functionalities of quantum networks for Army-relevant operations that are unattainable by classical systems, including theories and models for understanding quantum-network phenomena, network protocols, algorithms and architectures, and managing protocols for efficient entanglement routing, control and manipulation. The program is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. Participants work with ARL advisors and are required to write a research proposal that will be reviewed by the ARL-RAP review panel.
