This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) provides $375,000 to the University of Oregon to conduct experimental research on quantum spin-mechanics using color centers in diamond. The key focus is to investigate the interactions between silicon-vacancy quantum bits (qubits) and the compressional mechanical vibrations of a micrometer-sized diamond plate, with the goal of mediating and controlling interactions between the qubits through their coupling to the mechanical vibrations. The research program also aims to make contributions to education and human resources by providing training to graduate and undergraduate students in quantum information science and technology. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
