Unitary Fund is a nonprofit organization that works to create a quantum technology ecosystem that benefits the most people.

We run a microgrant program that gives $4k cash grants for projects that help develop the quantum technology ecosystem. This could be open source quantum software, educational materials and workshops, a new quantum sensor prototype, or much more.

You can find a list of past recipients here. They include a simulator package for surface codes, Q# library for quantum RAM, an optimizing quantum circuit compiler based on ZX calculus, and much more.

QuTiP is an affiliated project of Unitary Fund, whose development we support through a remote mentorship program.

We also do our own research on projects that help the ecosystem as a whole. As an example, we are currently developing an open source toolchain for error-mitigated quantum programming.

The open-source scientific ecosystem in quantum computing needs a reliable funding mechanism and your support can help in this direction. We will use the funds to support our microgrant program, the affiliated projects and our open-source in-house research.
