The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, will support research to enable more precise measurements of the fine-structure constant, which is a fundamental physical quantity that describes the strength of electromagnetic forces. The research team at UC Berkeley plans to introduce three key innovations to their large-momentum transfer atom interferometry apparatus to increase the precision and speed of these measurements. Specifically, they will introduce a temporal offset between measurements, make the atomic paths more symmetric, and perform detailed modeling to understand and mitigate potential sources of error. This work is expected to advance fundamental knowledge in particle physics and enable further progress in quantum information science through the training of undergraduate and graduate students.
