This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports the development of quantum logic techniques for controlling polar molecular ions. The $213,475 award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) aims to advance atomic, molecular, and optical physics research in areas such as quantum computing, quantum sensing, and fundamental physics. The 3-year project, starting September 2024, will enable the training of students and a postdoctoral researcher in cutting-edge techniques, as well as an outreach effort to bring laboratory-based experiments to local elementary schools. The overarching goal is to establish a new frontier in atomic, molecular, and optical physics by achieving full quantum control of molecular ions, enabling potential scientific and technological breakthroughs. No subawards are planned under this grant.
