This work aims to deepen the...
This $636,571 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports research by professors Philip Bucksbaum and Mohammed Hassan of Stanford University and the University of Arizona, along with their United Kingdom collaborators. The project investigates electron-ion entanglement in the photoionization of small molecules using extremely intense laser pulses of squeezed quantum light. The researchers will detect the directions and velocities of electrons emitted during this ionization process, with the goal of revealing quantum entanglement between the ion and departing electron. This could lead to a deeper understanding of the role quantum fields play in chemical dynamics. The project also provides research opportunities for graduate students in quantum information science, contributing to the development of a quantum-enabled workforce. The award period runs from September 15, 2025 through August 31, 2028.
