This $450,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to develop new types of quantum sensors enabled by quantum entanglement. The three-year project, running from August 2024 to July 2027, focuses on three key efforts:

  1. Leveraging entanglement-enabled probes to characterize the role of memory in the environments of quantum systems and investigate the non-Markovianity of different decoherence mechanisms.

  2. Applying quantum-entanglement-enhanced metrology techniques harnessing time reversal invariance to optimally sense unknown and fluctuating magnetic fields.

  3. Exploring the transition between quantum and classical dynamics by manipulating a qubit array via quantum measurement to advance quantum simulation efforts.

This award aims to demonstrate new quantum sensors while broadly advancing quantum technologies, with a focus on understanding and harnessing dissipation in open quantum systems. The project will also provide training for undergraduate and graduate students in quantum information and sensing. No subawards are planned under this grant.
