This $406,831 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation, under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program, will support research at Wayne State University exploring sound as an analogue for quantum information science. The research aims to develop classically entangled acoustic waves analogous to quantum bits without quantum fragility through exploiting recently discovered analogies between acoustics, quantum mechanics, and condensed matter physics. The project will investigate metamaterials comprising arrays of externally driven, linearly and nonlinearly coupled acoustic waveguides known to support phase-bit acoustic waves. Researchers will experimentally, computationally, and theoretically examine the exponentially complex and scalable Hilbert spaces of multiple phase-bit states and the non-separability of their coherent superpositions. They seek to analyze the scalability and controllability of very large Hilbert spaces with billions of dimensions and their potential quantum information science applications, demonstrating proof-of-concept quantum-like gate and algorithm operations. Educational resources bridging classical and quantum mechanics are also part of the project.
