The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,750,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Ohio State University to explore electronic noise at the quantum scale. The project, titled "QUSEC-TAQS: Noise Engineering for Enhanced Quantum Sensing," aims to enable fast and efficient profiling of magnetic noise at the atomic level, which is a critical challenge in quantum computing and sensing due to the impact of noise on qubit coherence. The research team, comprising faculty from the University of Colorado Boulder and Colorado State University, will develop new techniques for characterizing noise and benchmark them using solid-state qubits and metal-containing molecules. Beyond the technical research, the project will also build curricula and organize a workshop focused on quantum information science and engineering. A $134,459 sub-award to the University of Colorado will support the theoretical and experimental work on noise spectroscopy and dynamical decoupling protocols for quantum sensing applications.
