LPS Qubit Collaboratory (LQC)

The LPS Qubit Collaboratory (LQC) is a research program provided by the Dept of the Army -- Materiel Command. It is designed to support scientists, researchers, and students in advancing quantum information science and technology. The initiative funds multiple types of proposals, including incubator opportunities for single investigators or small research groups, collaborative projects for larger research teams, and graduate and postdoctoral fellowships for U.S. citizens.

The program covers research expenses, collaborative opportunities, and hands-on experiences at physical government laboratories. It focuses on fundamental quantum research, qubit development, and workforce training. Because this is a federal research and fellowship program funded by the Department of Defense rather than a traditional college financial aid package, it does not require or utilize the FAFSA or state-level student aid applications. Instead, interested candidates must submit formal research proposals or fellowship applications directly through the federal grants portal to be considered for funding.
