The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Washington (UW) for the development of advanced computational methods to simulate and understand quantum phenomena driven by magnetic fields. The 3-year project, led by Dr. Xiaosong Li, aims to establish a rigorous first-principles framework for modeling time-resolved magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy. This will involve creating a relativistic, time-dependent multiconfigurational approach capable of simulating MCD spectral evolution on ultrafast timescales under finite magnetic fields. Complementary nuclear gradient techniques will also be implemented to enable geometry optimization and excited-state characterization within relativistic multireference calculations. The new methods developed under this award will provide a foundation for the rational design of next-generation quantum technologies and energy-efficient materials, while also supporting interdisciplinary education and training at the interface of inorganic, physical, theoretical, and materials chemistry.
