- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program provides funding for research on quantum analogues of low-complexity functions on the Hamming cube. The $171,227 award, effective June 15, 2025 through May 31, 2028, will be performed by the University of South Carolina. The goal is to extend classical Fourier analysis tools to the quantum setting, addressing challenges that arise when the dimension...
This Project Grant award of $102,699 from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) seeks to advance the complexity-theoretic foundations underlying quantum cryptographic systems. The research project undertaken by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York aims to chart a clearer understanding of the mathematical assumptions needed for quantum cryptographic primitives, develop new protocols and techniques for secure interaction with quantum information, and explore idealized models to probe feasibility and impossibility results. In addition to contributing to foundational science, the project will support educational activities, outreach, and international collaboration. The award has a performance period from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028.
