This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Materials Research, under the CFDA program 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $570,000 in funding to William Marsh Rice University (doing business as Rice University) to develop a material design principle for creating spin-active quantum defects in a one-dimensional host and explore their potential for spin qubits. The goal is to deepen the understanding of electron spins in low-dimensional materials and develop material design principles that could lead to new types of qubits. The research will focus on investigating the influence of defect atomic structures and chemical compositions on their spin manifolds and coherence properties, with the intent of obtaining general design principles to govern spin properties. This multidisciplinary research project will provide training opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in materials science and quantum optics, supporting the development of the next-generation workforce in quantum information science. The project period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
