This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) supports research by Cornell University to develop new quantum control methods for "bosonic encodings" - an approach that uses the natural properties of oscillating systems to efficiently protect quantum information from errors. The $363,649 award, which runs from July 2025 to June 2028, aims to advance theoretical, computational, and experimental techniques for executing logical quantum operations while preserving the error-correcting properties of the bosonic encoding. This research represents a critical step toward realizing practical, large-scale quantum computers that can provide transformative advances in national cybersecurity, economic competitiveness, and scientific discovery. The project serves the national interest by pushing the boundaries of quantum control and error correction, which are essential building blocks for scalable quantum computing.
