The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $200,000 Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on laser cooling of radioactive molecules. The principal investigator, Dr. Arian Jadbabaie, will work under the mentorship of Dr. Garcia Ruiz to demonstrate the first direct laser cooling of radioactive molecules, which could enable a new class of table-top experiments searching for physics beyond the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) a $472,456 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct precision spectroscopy research on single polyatomic molecules. The goal of this 3-year project is to develop techniques that can precisely measure the quantum mechanical properties of individual polyatomic molecules, rather than an ensemble average. This will enable future applications in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $435,732 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct computational research on metal-containing small molecules. The proposed work aims to develop new algorithms and computer programs to elucidate the roles of electronic state coupling in laser cooling of molecules to ultracold temperatures. The research will provide insights into molecules relevant to quantum...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $366,058 to Harvard University to conduct research on quantum simulation and collisions with ultracold triatomic molecules. The project aims to study the quantum physics governing polyatomic molecule interactions and develop techniques for quantum control of these molecules, with applications in quantum computing and simulation. Led by Professor John...
This $2.545 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund a research program in ultralow-temperature atomic physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2027. The program aims to study the fundamental properties of molecules and materials at the atomic level using precision control methods from atomic physics. Two major research directions...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $645,309 to Northwestern University to develop techniques for precision measurements on atoms and molecules trapped within inert cryogenic crystals from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The researchers will produce the first doped cryocrystals suitable for searches beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. They will grow large inert...
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) received a $543,878 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to acquire a multi-use cryostat/magnet physical properties measurement system for studying quantum materials. The award, issued under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund the purchase of equipment to promote progress in these scientific fields from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The system will allow researchers...
This $649,435 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a tabletop experiment at the University of Chicago with unprecedented sensitivity to hadronic CP violation. The experiment aims to develop a new approach using an optically-trapped, ultracold gas of the polar molecule francium-223 (223FrAg) to search for the Schiff moment of francium-223. This has the potential to increase sensitivity to nuclear charge distribution deformations by a factor of 1,000 beyond the...
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) received a three-year, $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences to determine how plasma spontaneously develops localized hot spots that radiate x-rays and produce related dramatic phenomena. The award supports research from June 2021 through May 2024 under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to strengthen the nation's...
