The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) has been awarded a $450,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. Through this 3-year grant, UCSB will conduct fundamental research to advance the theoretical understanding of the dynamics of excitations in exotic quantum states of matter. The research will focus on three main thrusts: 1) developing new theoretical models and techniques for studying quantum spin liquids and the fractional excitations called spinons, 2) elucidating the non-equilibrium physics of moiré excitons under strong laser illumination, and 3) creating new theoretical techniques to model the dynamics of quasiparticles on quantum computers. This work aims to reveal the underlying quantum mechanical phenomena in materials and guide their application in emerging information and energy technologies. The project also integrates the training of undergraduate and graduate students as well as postdoctoral researchers to build the nation's quantum workforce.
