The $294,777 award to the Trustees of Boston University will focus on two major themes: (1) understanding, characterizing, and controlling chaos in interacting many-particle systems; and (2) developing formalism for...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $375,000 to the University of Massachusetts Boston to conduct research on how gases of neutral atoms doped with charges (hybrid systems) exhibit novel behaviors under extreme conditions, such as ultracold temperatures or quantum degeneracy. The key objectives of the research are to: (1) study hybrid samples under extreme conditions and their control, and (2) provide theoretical guidance for experimental detection of the predicted behaviors. The research aims to advance knowledge of hybrid systems, which could support innovations in areas like new frequency standards, quantum information processing, and ultracold chemistry. In addition, the grant will promote teaching and training in these emerging scientific domains.
