The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to Princeton University in the amount of $395,000 on September 15, 2025. This grant will support a multi-disciplinary, multi-national research collaboration led by Professor Gregory Scholes at Princeton University, along with partners from the University of Cambridge and University College London in the United Kingdom. The research team will seek to understand how quantum entanglement affects chemical reactions, exploring the role of entanglement in charge transfer reactions. The project will involve synthesizing conjugated dimer structures, experimentally characterizing entanglement using spectroscopic and magnetic resonance techniques, and advancing the concept of an "entanglement witness" to quantify quantum correlations. The research findings could provide new ways of understanding chemical reactions at a fundamental level and contribute to the development of quantum-information based concepts.
