This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $195,228 to California State University San Marcos Corp, a Hispanic Serving Institution, to strengthen undergraduate education in quantum information science and technology (QIST).
The funding will be used to secure two types of equipment - quantum optic single-photon setups and electronic measurement instruments. This equipment will allow students to conduct cutting-edge experiments in advanced physics courses and independent research projects. An estimated 80 students per year are expected to utilize the project-funded equipment to enhance their learning and engagement with complex quantum concepts. The project aims to enrich the undergraduate STEM education experience at California State University San Marcos, particularly for underrepresented minority students, by providing state-of-the-art instrumentation to support student learning in QIST.
