This Project Grant award, valued at $214,419 and effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028, was issued by the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049).

The primary objective of this project is to develop an experimental simulation system using ultracold dipolar molecules confined in optical lattices to investigate new states of quantum matter and advance the understanding of physical processes behind superconductivity and quantum magnetism. The research team, based at Columbia University, will create a Bose-Einstein condensate of sodium-cesium molecules and use optical lattices to carefully engineer molecular systems to realize extended Hubbard models and quantum magnetism in regimes not previously accessible. This research is expected to yield important insights into the principles of self-organization of quantum matter, with potential implications for future quantum technologies and computing applications. The project will also provide in-depth STEM education and training opportunities for undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers, with a focus on broadening participation from underrepresented groups.
