- This $1,998,806.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports an ambitious multi-institutional research effort to advance quantum science and engineering. The goal is to develop a new class of devices based on the emergent quantum physics of periodically driven materials, establishing a novel paradigm for Floquet-enabled quantum detection and sensing. The project aims to produce integrated sensing devices that will create a fully...
This federal Project Grant award of $700,000.00, provided by the Division of Physics within the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences), will support research on quantum optics with atomic ensembles and arrays. The research team from the University of Michigan will explore new methods for efficiently and effectively creating entanglement, a key quantum feature, by using optical fields to create arrays of interacting atoms. This work aims to deepen the understanding of atom-atom and atom-field entanglement, which can enable the development of novel techniques for scalable generation and distribution of entanglement. The project will also provide training for students in cutting-edge experimental physics, optics, electronics, and data acquisition. The research spans two approaches: single-atom qubits for processing, storage, and mapping into photons, and qubit encoding in atomic ensembles. Both methods enable Rydberg-based generation of multi-qubit entangled states, long-term entanglement storage, and efficient atom-light entanglement generation.
