The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $511,970 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to President and Fellows of Harvard College to develop a quantum simulator using configurable arrays of ultracold dipolar molecules. The research team aims to engineer molecular Hamiltonians that can model the physics of correlated many-body quantum systems, such as antiferromagnetic and spin models. Key project goals include entangling the rotation of adjacent molecules and developing microwave pulse sequences to precisely control the molecular Hamiltonians. This work will contribute to advancing quantum simulation capabilities and training the future quantum workforce through student and postdoc involvement, as well as the development of a new course on quantum molecular physics. The project period is from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
