This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $495,259 to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to conduct research on coherent electron control and the quantum measurement problem. The key objectives are to:

  1. Investigate the interaction between electrons and macroscopic objects like walls to understand how it limits the resolution of electron microscopes, with the goal of overcoming these limitations.

  2. Examine the quantum properties of groups of closely-spaced electrons, which could lead to further improvements in electron microscopy.

The research project will utilize techniques like electron diffraction, Mach-Zehnder interferometry, and femtosecond laser-driven electron emission to advance the understanding of quantum dissipation theory and the Aharonov-Bohm effect. The award period runs from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 and includes providing training for graduate, undergraduate, and high school students in quantum science.
