The award is part of the NSF Engineering Directorate's $47.041 million program to foster innovation in engineering research. Specifically, the university will work to demonstrate generation of continuous variable cluster states and Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill...
- This Project Grant award, supported by the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) of the National Science Foundation (NSF), provides $570,000.00 to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop innovative chemical strategies for the precise placement and structural control of organic color centers on single-walled carbon nanotubes. The project will create a DNA-programmed photochemical platform to deterministically synthesize these organic color centers, which can emit...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $320,000 to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The funding supports research to develop new methods for reliably generating, storing, and distributing entangled photons between multiple locations using quantum memory devices. This work aims to address a key challenge in building large-scale quantum systems by enabling efficient entanglement distribution across up to five spatially separated memory nodes, a substantial scale-up from existing two-node systems. The project also contributes to national priorities in STEM education and workforce development by training graduate and undergraduate students in cutting-edge quantum research.
