The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) has awarded a $444,534 project grant to the University of Denver to develop a new sensing technique called "Quantum Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy" (QSRS). The key innovation is the use of entangled photons as the probing source, which calculations suggest can make QSRS more than a trillion times more sensitive than classical measurements. The goal is to build the first QSRS setup, test and optimize it with various materials, and then use QSRS to excite, measure, and sense single vibrations and electrons. This new quantum sensing capability has potential applications in areas such as biological imaging, chemical/weapons detection, and computer chip testing. The project will run from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028.
