This federal Project Grant award of $385,389 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028. The project aims to integrate nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, which are optically active spin defects in diamonds, with on-chip magnetic nanodevices to develop hybrid quantum spintronic platforms. This will improve the scalability, electromagnetic tunability, and solid-state compatibility of NV centers for implementing transformative quantum information science innovations. In parallel, the project will include education, training, and outreach programs to increase awareness of developments in spintronics, quantum sensing, and novel computing technologies, and promote student participation in this frontier scientific research.
