- This federal Project Grant award of $230,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports theoretical research to analyze the properties of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and the transition from QGP to hadrons. The research aims to unravel the microscopic mechanisms of this transition by evaluating in-medium correlation functions using quantum many-body theory. The project will be carried out by Texas A&M University from...
- This $399,968 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research into the nature of quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter that existed in the early universe. The principal investigator and her team at Lehigh University will study the properties of this plasma by analyzing the behavior of high-energy particle jets that pass through it. The research aims to advance the field's understanding of quantum...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $376,379.00 and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research on the dynamics of few-body quantum systems. The key objectives are to develop a quantum mechanical treatment of the time evolution of small atomic and molecular systems, in order to reveal few-body phenomena and improve understanding of larger system dynamics. The research will focus on two main areas: (1)...
- This Project Grant award of $360,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at George Washington University to study the properties of three-particle quantum systems using lattice QCD (Quantum Chromodynamics) methods. The project aims to improve the theoretical understanding of how strong nuclear forces bind nucleons together in atomic nuclei, by developing new three-body QCD...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $690,000 supports research into quantum transport and hadronization in quark-gluon plasma at Texas A&M University from July 2022 through June 2025. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Principal Investigator Dr. Smith and his team will investigate how the properties of the strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma and its transition into hadrons emerge from quantum chromodynamics theory. They will employ quantum...
- This $315,758 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program supports theoretical research and associated educational activities on the dynamics of quantum systems. The research aims to explore the complex, hidden quantum state dynamics that persist even after quantum many-body systems reach local equilibrium, with the goal of uncovering universal quantum phenomena and harnessing these quantum states for...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $256,404.00 to Duke University to conduct research on the quantum description of dynamical processes in isolated quantum systems, utilizing heavy ion collisions as a prototype. The two-pronged research approach includes: (i) studying the formation of a thermal gluon plasma through exact numerical simulations, and (ii) modeling the decay process of the quark-gluon plasma into individual particles, extending ideas from string theory. This research aims to develop methods and insights with broad relevance for quantum information science and nuclear physics, including understanding the processes of thermalization and multi-fragmentation. The award has an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2028.
