This award is issued under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049), which represents the nation's largest federal sponsor of basic research in the physical sciences. The project...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $457,380 provides funding through July 2025 for the HAYSTAC Quantum Enhanced collaboration between the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Colorado. The award supports research seeking to discover the identity of dark matter through operation of one of the world's leading experiments searching for the hypothetical axion particle. UC Berkeley is responsible for research and development of tunable microwave cavities and metamaterial resonators to enhance detection capabilities. The University of Colorado develops quantum sensors. The collaboration will complete analysis of an ongoing data run using a squeezed vacuum state receiver developed under previous funding to circumvent the standard quantum limit. UC Berkeley will deploy an improved cavity design and additional data will be collected as frequency ranges upward. Colorado will test an entangled cavity state-swapping concept expected to increase scan rate by a factor of 15. The award furthers the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goal of advancing scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems through support of basic research in the mathematical and physical sciences.
