This $250,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program aims to advance quantum technology through research on Rydberg exciton polaritons. The primary activities involve developing new theoretical models to understand and control the interactions between Rydberg excitons and semiconductor crystal impurities. This work will deepen the scientific understanding of these exotic quantum systems and guide future experiments and technological applications for quantum computing and secure communications. The project also includes outreach efforts such as an educational computer game to engage students and the public on quantum phenomena. This research, led by Purdue University, will provide a comprehensive framework for interpreting experimental results and exploring the potential of Rydberg exciton polaritons in optical quantum technologies.
