This $792,705 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) to demonstrate distributed quantum sensing with Heisenberg scaling on a commercial fiber-optic quantum network.
Specifically, the project aims to create and distribute multi-photon entangled states across eight distant nodes on the network, then use these entangled states to measure eight unknown local phases with Heisenberg-scaling precision. This work involves collaboration between UTC, Texas A&M University, and industry partners Qubitekk and Electric Power Board of Chattanooga. The project serves as a testbed to advance quantum information science and engineering, with the research findings incorporated into UTC's new quantum curriculum for training the next generation of quantum professionals.
