The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $249,994 Project Grant to the Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology, a private research university in Hoboken, New Jersey. This grant, under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research activities focused on simulating quantum tasks using classical light beams.

The research aims to investigate analogies between microscopic quantum systems and macroscopic classical light fields, leveraging these analogies to simulate various quantum tasks. This effort seeks to advance the field of quantum simulation and classical coherence optics, while also contributing to the development of novel methods for teaching quantum physics by employing visualizable optical systems. The primary outcome will be the establishment of new physical platforms and protocols for simulating and realizing quantum-like tasks using classical light, with the potential to enable the practical implementation of quantum information science using classical analogs.
