The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the Engineering (47.041 CFDA) program to the University of Texas at Dallas on September 15, 2022 for a project period ending August 31, 2027. The grant will support the establishment of a Quantum Information Science and Engineering research and education hub focused on neutral atom quantum platforms. Key activities include research in quantum networks, sensing, and simulation using cold atoms, as well as faculty hiring, graduate and undergraduate academic program development, and workforce training efforts.
Two sub-awards of $100,000 each were provided to collaborating institutions to support additional research. The University of Wisconsin-Madison will work to demonstrate quantum sensing of magnetic fields using cold rubidium atoms and explore remote quantum sensing between entangled atoms. The University of Colorado will assist in developing atomtronics research through collaborative experiments, lectures, and hardware development focused on systems like atomtronic transistors, oscillators, and sensors.
