Because evolution is unitary. Unitary Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit helping create a quantum technology ecosystem that benefits the most people . We run a microgrant program to fund explorers across the world to work on quantum technologies.
Do you have an idea for a project? See our FAQ and previous grants . We do our own research to help the ecosystem as a whole.
For example, we are developing (1)mitiq , an open-source toolkit for error-mitigated quantum programming; (2)metriq , an open community platform for sharing quantum tech benchmarks; and (3)ucc , an open-source quantum compiler collection. We host an open source quantum tech community that runs hackathons and events on our Discord . Have a look at our Calendar.
We give $4k cash grants to quantum tech projects Projects could be open source quantum sofware, education materials and workshops, a new quantum sensor prototype, or much more. Our program is designed to be as simple as possible. No organizational affiliation required.
