This $276,075 National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Project Grant award to the West Virginia University Research Corporation will support a fellowship for an associate professor and graduate student training at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The goal is to develop expertise in electron-beam lithography and the fabrication of nanophotonic structures containing quantum dots. This work aims to enable the study of quantum light-matter interactions and potentially lead to the production of entangled photons in a photonic integrated circuit. The grant will also fund undergraduate students at West Virginia University to obtain certification in the Qiskit quantum computing software. The proposed research has the potential to transform photonic quantum computation and establish a new program at the university focused on investigating the fundamental physics of quantum photonic devices.
