The superconducting qubit control system requirement closes tomorrow, targeting advanced quantum-computing hardware for national research. Nine open requirements close within the next seven days and ten more within thirty, creating a tight deadline window across agencies. The Department of Energy leads with four active solicitations, followed by the Department of War's three and the Department of Commerce's one. Other near-term opportunities include high-speed photon-number-resolution imaging sensors, collaborative target-recognition models for unmanned systems, an asymmetric counter-swarm AI system, and a DARPA request for photonic processing algorithms.
