This Project Grant award of $360,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports a research program at Cornell University focused on advancing the frontiers of cold atom theory and applications. The key objectives are to: (1) develop methods for creating highly entangled quantum states of matter, (2) explore the emergent properties of strongly interacting quantum systems, and (3) leverage cold gas experiments to study fundamental physics. The research will utilize advanced numerical techniques to model quantum phenomena, develop new approaches to quantum state preparation, and build tools for realizing lattice gauge theories. This work aims to expand the range of physics that can be studied through cold gas experiments, with the goal of applying this knowledge to the development and understanding of new quantum materials and technologies. The research program also includes an educational component to improve physics education for life science and health career students. No subawards are planned under this grant, which has a performance period from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027.
