- This Project Grant award, valued at $400,000, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The project utilizes quantum spin defects in diamond and hexagonal boron nitride to study non-equilibrium quantum dynamics and how quantum systems behave when pushed away from equilibrium. The insights gained will enable better prediction and understanding of complex quantum systems, and guide the design of improved quantum-based simulators and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $4,662,892 project grant under the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education (STEM Education) program (CFDA 47.076) to establish an interdisciplinary graduate training program called Linking Quantum Sensing Technologies Across Disciplines (LINQ-STL). The Washington University will administer the award and partner with the University of Missouri-St. Louis, St. Louis University, and Harris-Stowe State University to train 100 students, including 40 funded trainees, in quantum sensing across chemistry, physics, computer science, electrical and systems engineering doctoral programs. The program aims to build quantum fluency among scientists and engineers in these fields through common vocabulary, research community awareness, identity development, and technical skills to prepare trainees for a range of professional careers. It also seeks to create institutional change in graduate education by demonstrating how career-focused internships and experiences aligned with students' interests impact career trajectories and success. Research activities will focus on quantum sensing applications in astrophysics, materials science, biology and medical imaging, and probing new phenomena. Outcomes will be broadly disseminated to other disciplines and institutions.
