This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $363,915 to Louisiana State University to develop a new generation of quantum sensors that are robust and scalable for real-world use. The research aims to design quantum sensors that can extract useful quantum features from classical light sources and operate effectively even in noisy or lossy environments. The project will establish a framework for quantum plasmonic sensing by developing multiparticle systems extracted from classical plasmonic waves. This work has applications in areas such as gas sensing and detection of fragile biological samples. The project also includes an educational component to provide hands-on training for students in quantum optics, nanofabrication, and data science, as well as efforts to engage a wider audience in the implications of quantum sensing and imaging.
