The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded Rice University a $300,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research on manipulating spinor quantum gases from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The university will study the interplay between spin and charge degrees of freedom in one-dimensional spinor quantum gases, simulate lattice gauge theory and Dirac strings using spinor condensates, and examine multicritical phenomena in generalized Dicke models beyond the two-level atom paradigm. A wide range of analytical and numerical tools will be employed to tackle these problems and address both long-standing challenges in the field as well as new developments. Student involvement will support STEM education and training through hands-on participation in the research projects.
