The $125,499 award supports a collaborative theoretical and experimental research effort between U.S. and Israeli institutions to develop efficient computational techniques and experimental methods for manipulating few-atom quantum...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports theoretical and computational research and education into quantum mechanical systems of interacting particles far from equilibrium. The $294,777 award to the Trustees of Boston University will focus on two major themes: (1) understanding, characterizing, and controlling chaos in interacting many-particle systems; and (2) developing formalism for...
The University of Massachusetts Boston was awarded a three-year $212,358 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to conduct experimental research exploring number theory concepts through cold atom systems. Specifically, the University will study the effects of engineered quantum potentials whose energy level spectra relate to sums of squares, prime numbers, and other number theory constructs. This includes analyzing resonant transition cascades in single atom traps where the potential spectra are the logarithms of natural numbers or sums of two squares. A second system involves two weakly interacting atoms in an external potential spectrum of prime numbers plus small periodic perturbation, to explore implications of Goldbach's conjecture. Broader impacts include an educational outreach program introducing quantum science concepts to Title I school districts. The University aims to demonstrate new physical effects not observed in classical systems through these experiments, with results applicable to validating open problems in number theory.
