The government seeks quotations for a superconducting qubit control system, which closes today and supports advanced quantum computing research. Ten open requirements close within the next seven days, including high-speed nanophotonic spatial light modulators, an asymmetric collaborative counter swarm, and a collaborative aided target recognition effort that all close in two days. A request for information on algorithms and abstraction for photonic processing closes in three days. Ten additional requirements close within thirty days, extending the week's procurement activity. The most active buyers among open requirements are the Department of Energy with four solicitations, the Department of War with three, and the Department of Commerce with one.
