This Project Grant award of $372,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports theoretical and computational research, as well as associated education initiatives, to investigate the interactions between light and matter. The research aims to explore how quantum fluctuations and photon-matter interactions can be harnessed to create novel quantum states of matter with potential applications in robust quantum information processing. The five-year project, beginning September 1, 2025 and concluding on August 31, 2030, will be conducted by Emory University. Key goals include understanding how vacuum fluctuations and photon correlations can stabilize highly entangled quantum systems, and exploring efficient transport of energy and information through photon-matter hybrid quantum states. The project will also integrate research with education and outreach efforts to bring quantum science into local high school classrooms and host a campus-wide "Emory Quantum Day" event for students, teachers, and the public.
