This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $240,000 in funding to Northeastern University to advance the understanding of an unusual phase of matter known as the "fracton phase." The research aims to 1) develop theoretical approaches to understand the collective behavior of fractons, 2) investigate fractons in open quantum systems, and 3) design algorithms to control fracton phases for quantum error correction and information processing. In addition to the research, the award supports educational and outreach activities to train, mentor, and retain students in STEM fields, with a focus on encouraging female participation. The project period runs from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030.
