Estimating Carbon Fluxes with Quantum Enabled Annealing Algorithms
Completed
TRL 4 (started at 2, targeting 4)
Description
The project will avhieve goals but generalizing the QAC edge detection and nueral nets for satellite data with high spatial and temporal locality. A 3D-VarDA QAC alforithm for LIS is developed and tested. Anealing Radiative transfer for both regions is evaluated. Timestep data tranfsfer between QAC and LIS will be enabled. OCO-2 observation function for LIS will be implemented along with QAC image registration for D-Wave Quantum Computer. Maps of vegetationa dn vegetation change will be derived. Data assimilation on LIS will be demonstrated. The project will also estiamte and evaluate Net Carbon Uptake for oth sites.

How to get involved
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 4) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.
None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
