The National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded The Regents of the University of Colorado $397,556 on October 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop quantum frequency comb interferometry applications. The research introduces squeezed frequency comb sources to interferometry measurements to push sensitivity beyond existing shot-noise and standard quantum limits. Work focuses on three interlocking research themes: realizing quantum interferometry for Fourier Transform spectroscopy, achieving quantum enhancement in dual-comb optical time transfer experiments using phase-squeezed combs, and extending bandwidth and wavelength range of new frequency comb sources to provide squeezed comb light in previously inaccessible regions. The research targets improved spectroscopic sensors with potential applications in safety and security, health screening, drug development, food production chains, and navigation systems. Frequency-comb-based spectroscopy and time transfer are fields already operating at shot noise limits with limited straightforward options to increase optical power, making quantum advantage particularly significant in these applications. Performance occurs in Boulder, Colorado, with a period extending from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029.
