This Project Grant award of $307,887 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will enable the University of California, Merced to advance the scientific understanding and technological applications of topological quantum matter at finite temperatures.

The research project aims to utilize the power of quantum computers to systematically characterize the properties of topological quantum systems at finite temperatures, which has remained a significant challenge due to the complex interplay between quantum and thermal effects. The findings are expected to lead to the discovery of robust quantum properties for developing novel quantum materials and more accessible quantum computing schemes resilient against temperature-induced disruptions. Additionally, the project will introduce practical quantum computation training into the university's undergraduate and graduate curricula to help prepare the next generation workforce for the quantum technology industry.
