This $275,000 NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) project grant to The Pennsylvania State University, doing business as Penn State, supports theoretical research and educational activities focused on understanding quantum phenomena in condensed matter systems. The key products and services to be delivered include: Exploring novel quantum critical phenomena and gapless phases in many-body quantum systems, going beyond traditional Landau symmetry-breaking paradigms. This involves developing advanced theoretical tools to characterize quantum phase transitions and non-Fermi liquid states in strongly correlated systems. Designing experimental platforms, such as twisted trilayer transition metal dichalcogenides, to realize and study specific strongly correlated gapless systems in a controlled setting. Educational activities including mentoring graduate students and postdocs, developing new condensed matter theory courses, and launching a "Quantum Echoes" oral history project to amplify diverse voices in the physics community. The project period runs from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2029.
