Project Grant 2210013

This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $284,063 supports collaborative research on advances in quantum control and noise mitigation through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The University of New Mexico will utilize its highly accurate quantum processor based on cesium atom spin states to experimentally test new techniques for quantum control and error mitigation. Key research areas include simulating deep quantum circuits and Floquet systems, studying the role of quantum chaos in error proliferation, and developing techniques for noise tailoring and quantum error correction. Additionally, the upgraded processor aims to increase simulation accuracy and duration to the state-of-the-art. This award will further the program's goals of strengthening the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding of major problems in mathematical and physical sciences.
