This $400,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The grant is focused on developing narrow-band, frequency-multiplexed photon pair sources based on cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC). This technology is critical for advancing quantum information science and engineering (QISE), which has transformative potential for computing, sensing, and communications.

The lead institution, the University of North Dakota (UND), will leverage its new cleanroom facilities to establish expertise in optical thin film fabrication and device development. UND will partner with the University of Oregon to leverage its QISE characterization capabilities and educational expertise. This collaboration aims to recruit, retain, and graduate participants from underrepresented groups in STEM while training the next generation of quantum scientists and engineers. The grant will fund the development of narrow-band, frequency-multiplexed photon pair sources and characterization methods, with a focus on making these quantum light sources compatible with existing telecommunication infrastructure.
