This $298,494 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports fundamental research on nonequilibrium quantum phenomena in Bose-Einstein condensates at Washington State University (WSU). The three-year project aims to investigate beyond-mean-field physics in these ultracold quantum gas systems, including studies on scattering dynamics, quantum phase transitions, and spin-spatial resonances. The research is expected to advance the understanding of nonequilibrium processes in quantum systems and contribute to areas like quantum optics, nonlinear optics, and quantum information science. The project also involves the training of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as outreach activities for underrepresented groups and local high school students. No subawards are planned under this award. The results of this research are anticipated to directly stimulate collaboration with WSU's in-house cold atom experimental group.
