Description
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis with Safran Group under the authority of 41 US 3304(a)(1) for a White Rabbit LJ Switches (WRS-LJ) and LEN Kit manufactured in Switzerland.
Background Information and Basis for Sole Source
The US Department of Commerce (DOC), NIST, Computing and Communications Theory group applies expertise in mathematical subdisciplines such as combinatorics, graph theory, network science, operations research, optimization, discrete nonlinear dynamics, computational geometry, quantum mechanics, and information theory. Researchers apply their knowledge and skills in areas such as the fundamental models of physics, chemistry, biology, and information systems, complex systems analysis, pattern recognition, and quantum computing and communications. In collaboration with NIST and outside scientists, the group develops, analyzes, and applies related mathematical methods and tools for critical problems of measurement science at NIST, and develops mathematical foundations for the measurement science of information systems. As part of this mission, the Computing and Communications Theory group is planning to develop new schemes and protocols for quantum networking and perform experiments to test these protocols in the newly developed NIST campus network (called NG-QNet) and a regional quantum network (called DC-QNet).
The goal of the group-s research is to develop a measurement and testbed infrastructure to test and validate the performance of optical quantum components on the NIST Gaithersburg campus and over a regional DC area quantum network. A critical component of these quantum networks is the precision timing synchronization that is required between ‘nodes- on the network. To distribute and characterize quantum signals and to perform quantum experiments between at least two DC-QNet agencies over a fiber-based link, the requesting lab needs to ...
