This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, with CFDA number 47.049, provides $549,419 to Lehigh University to study non-equilibrium Fermi gases in a multi-region trap. The goal is to better understand the physics of quantum materials, such as high-temperature superconductors and materials for potential applications in quantum computing, more efficient power transmission, and improved thermoelectric cooling. The research team will use a gas of strongly interacting lithium-6 atoms in an optical trap to investigate the transport of spin and coupled spin-heat, providing new insights into many-body quantum systems. This project, running from July 2025 to June 2028, will also train graduate and undergraduate students in quantum science and technology. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.
