The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $455,854 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to Montana State University (MSU) to investigate a new method of strongly coupling arrays of neutral atoms to single optical photons. The key products or services to be delivered through this 3-year award (8/1/2025 - 7/31/2028) include: Developing high numerical aperture optical cavity arrays, each strongly coupled to an individual neutral atom qubit. This approach will enable fast readout and high bandwidth entanglement distribution with arrays of neutral atom qubits, overcoming obstacles towards useful quantum information processing. The research will be conducted by the Principal Investigator, graduate students, and undergraduate students at MSU, a leading research institution in domains such as space exploration, environmental science, and technology innovation. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
