The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The 3-year project, titled "Operational Quantum Mereology: An Information Scrambling Approach," aims to develop a unified framework for optimal selection of quantum subsystems. The technical approach will be based on the concept of "information scrambling" to quantitatively measure the spread of information across degrees of freedom in many-body quantum systems. The goal is to determine optimal system divisions that minimize this information scrambling, enabling the preservation of informational identities and resilience to environmental noise. This project has important educational and training components, as it will involve graduate students to facilitate their future participation in the national quantum workforce.
