ELQ – Entangled Logical Qubits

Entangled Logical Qubits In contrast to conventional computers that run conventional (classical) algorithms, quantum computers process quantum algorithms. Provably, certain classes of problems, which are very hard or practically impossible to process by conventional computers, can be solved efficiently using quantum algorithms, exploiting the real power of a quantum computer. Since 2009, IARPA has invested…

SINTRA

Space Debris Identification and Tracking The IARPA SINTRA program aims to investigate the interaction of orbital debris with the surrounding space environment and drive the state of the art to detect, track, and characterize lethal non-trackable orbital space debris. Space debris poses a risk to all space missions, including those of the Intelligence Community (IC).…

Teams Begin Work to Develop Tasty Food from Air, Water, and Electricity

DARPA’s Cornucopia program aims to create a variety of healthy new microbial-based foods using three ingredients — air, water, and electricity—with minimal or no supplementation. If successful, troops one day could deploy with a transportable system that makes nourishing and appetizing food on demand in remote locations, obviating costly and brittle food supply chains. Three…

Accurate Aerosol Identification—Really Fast

The bottom line is that right now it’s very difficult and potentially dangerous to identify harmful chemicals or agents once they’re aerosolized. However, one of IARPA’s newest programs, Pursuing Intelligent Complex Aerosols for Rapid Detection (PICARD), hopes to give the USG and IC a tool that will help reduce risk while accurately and quickly detecting…
