This Project Grant award of $430,309 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by Purdue University to study novel out-of-equilibrium quantum dynamics in ultracold atomic gases. The key goals are to explore instability-induced quantum dynamics, including investigating quantum many-body breathers, a one-dimensional Bose gas phase transition, and quantum entanglement generation, as well as observing supersonic turbulence in a superfluid. The project leverages precise control over ultracold cesium atoms to serve as an ideal testbed for studying these challenging quantum phenomena. The research aims to advance fundamental understanding of quantum many-body systems and could lead to applications such as quantum-enhanced sensors. The project will also provide training for multiple PhD students and undergraduate research assistants at Purdue University. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has a period of performance from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027.
