This $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to advance the understanding of quantum materials and establish a design space for room-temperature superfluorescent quantum emitters. The research program brings together teams from Duke University with expertise in material synthesis, quantum property characterization, theory, and computational materials simulations. By systematically studying superfluorescent emitting hybrid metal halide perovskite materials, the project will produce reusable data relating superfluorescence characteristics like color tunability and coherence to material properties. This research may enable the use of superfluorescence as a quantum optical effect in photonic devices. The project also includes educational activities to engage high school students from economically disadvantaged communities and provide research experiences for undergraduate and early-career researchers. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of October 1, 2023 and an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027.
