The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program awarded a 3-year, $100,000 Project Grant to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York's Hunter College campus. The grant, titled "EXPANDQISE: TRACK 1: EXPLORING EXCHANGE INTERACTION BETWEEN PERSISTENT SPIN HELIX AND DEFECT SPIN QUBITS FOR QUANTUM INFORMATION", aims to develop research and education capacities in quantum information science and engineering (QISE). The project proposes a quantum qubit system with long coherence times and electrically tunable coupling between qubits, using spin defects and an electrically tunable persistent spin helix to control qubit interactions. As a sub-award, the University of Maryland, College Park is partnering on the project to study the dynamics of the persistent spin helix and its interaction with spin qubits. The initiative also includes robust student exchange programs, internships, and curriculum development to train the next generation STEM workforce in quantum information science and materials engineering.
