SUMMARY:Introduction to the NSF X-Labs Funding Opportunity on Quantum Syste
 ms: Interconnects and Integrated Photonics
CONTACT:Kathryn Weatherly katweath@associates.nsf.gov
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Technology
 , Innovation and Partnerships (NSF TIP) invites you to attend the second o
 f four introductory webinars on the recently released NSF X-Labs initiativ
 e. This second webinar will focus on the topic: Quantum Interconnects and 
 Integrated Photonics.  What: Introduction to the NSF X-Labs Funding O
 pportunity on Quantum Systems: Interconnects and Integrated PhotonicsWhen:
  Thursday, June 4, 2-3 p.m. EDTRegister hereNSF X-Labs in this topic wil
 l focus on the research and development of technologies to enable next-gen
 eration quantum interconnects, integrated quantum photonics and/or their s
 upporting technologies. NSF X-Labs teams will target specific platform tec
 hnologies that, if successful, will provide a roadmap for the integration 
 of second-generation quantum systems. NSF Tech Labs in this topic will aim
  to develop foundational platform solutions that can form the basis for br
 oad industry adoption.Additional upcoming NSF X-Labs webinarsQ&A for NSF X

 and Integrated PhotonicsTuesday, June 30, 2-3 p.m. EDT\n\nAbout the series
 \n\nNSF X-Labs represent a bold, flexible, and outcomes-driven initiative 
 designed to build and accelerate novel platform technologies capable of un
 locking entirely new sectors, including new fields of scientific inquiry. 
 The program will support full-time research and development (R&D) teams fo
 cused on use-inspired scientific breakthroughs and foundational platform t
 echnologies that traditional university and industry labs cannot easily ad
 dress. NSF X-Labs teams will benefit from ambitious R&D goals, operational
  autonomy, milestone-based funding, and the ability to engage across acade
 mia, industry, national laboratories, and nonprofit sectors. NSF X-Labs wi
 ll bet on ambitious, full-time teams working with urgency and purpose, and
  provide them with the structure, resources, and flexibility necessary to 
 cultivate early-stage platform technologies that will accelerate breakthro
 ughs and unlock entirely new sectors of the economy. For additional assi
 stance with accessibility and reasonable accommodations, contact rarequest
 @nsf.gov or call 703-292-8020 to request support. Please contact NSF at le
 ast 14 days before your meeting or event date for sessions lasting one day
  or less and 30 days in advance for sessions lasting two or more consecuti
 ve days to allow sufficient time to coordinate arrangements.
