This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $199,087 in funding to the Cal Poly Corporation at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. The award supports research to determine the conditions under which quantum coherence can persist in thermal gases at temperatures above the level required to create a Bose-Einstein condensate. The research aims to understand the boundary between classical and quantum regimes, which could aid in the development of low-cost quantum technologies. The award also integrates the quantum science research into the undergraduate curriculum at Cal Poly to provide enhanced learning opportunities for underrepresented groups in physics. The project period runs from March 1, 2025 to January 31, 2026.
