This $500,000 federal project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education) to Florida A&M University (FAMU) aims to advance quantum information science and engineering (QISE) research and education. The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year award include:

  1. Developing cutting-edge QISE research leveraging quantum fluids and solids, with four synergistic activities focused on qubit platforms, quantum optomechanics, quantum decoherence, and quantum sensing devices.

  2. Creating a comprehensive QISE educational program at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering to address the national demand for engineers proficient in quantum concepts and techniques.

  3. Ensuring the sustainability of QISE research and education at FAMU through strategic infrastructure development and faculty recruitment.

The grant involves sub-awards to Yale University and the University of Notre Dame to contribute specialized expertise in areas like computational modeling, cryo-electron microscopy, and physics-informed machine learning for these QISE research and education initiatives.
