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…

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…

DARPA RPM – Reimagining Protein Manufacuring
DARPA RPM Aims to Speed-Up Production of On-Demand Protein-Based Therapeutics Department of Defense (DoD) access to critical protein-based therapeutics is limited by the slow pace and substantial costs associated with current protein production methods. The goal of the DARPA Reimaging Protein Manufacturing (RPM) program is to develop tools for distributed, on-demand manufacturing of protein-based drugs,…

LHO – Little Horned Owl
Intelligence Value The need for increasingly sophisticated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for intelligence purposes requires a maturation of the technology to include the need for quiet UAVs. The Little Horned Owl program is developing ultra-quiet mini UAVs (defined as having a take-off weight of 55 pounds or less) to further enable critical intelligence and military…
