The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $396,361 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Kansas State University (KSU) on June 15, 2024. The grant supports an international collaborative project to develop quantum sensors using hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) crystals. The key objectives include: 1) growing high-purity hBN crystals, 2) measuring the optical and magnetic field sensing properties of the crystals, and 3) determining optimal device structures for hBN quantum sensors. This research aims to advance the performance of quantum sensors in areas such as biological process monitoring, virus identification, and drug discovery. The project will also provide training opportunities for students in crystal growth, material characterization, and quantum device development. KSU will partner with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in France on this 3-year effort, which is expected to be completed by May 31, 2027. The university plans to engage in public outreach activities to promote quantum science and technology.
