This $510,000 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research on the development and understanding of a novel type of quantum device known as "multiterminal Josephson junctions." The project, led by researchers at Duke University, focuses on exploring the physical properties and potential applications of these multiterminal superconducting structures, which leverage the unique properties of graphene to enable efficient coupling between multiple superconducting terminals. The research aims to enhance the understanding of topological signatures in these junctions, with potential applications in quantum microwave devices. Additionally, the project includes outreach and educational activities to train students in quantum nanotechnology and increase participation of underrepresented groups in STEM. The award period runs from Aug 1, 2024 to Jul 31, 2027.
