This is a great opportunity to get funding to work on your favorite quantum computing project. Yes, people will fund you to work on the stuff you want to work on! I know, it’s amazing! So go out and write a great grant application…just make sure it’s not too much greater than mine 🙂
Well, I’m not an American … but if anyone would like to put my name on their proposal for a postdoc position, please just email me and I’ll help write the proposal.
$3M over 5 years. Wow.
