Grant Award Summary The University of Chicago received a $504,319 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) beginning March 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for February 28, 2031. This project grant supports fundamental research in quantum simulation using ultracold polar molecules, specifically focusing on the development and characterization of potassium-silver (KAg) molecules with enhanced interaction strengths. The research aims to advance ultracold polar molecules as a quantum platform for studying exotic states of matter, leveraging the molecules' strong, tunable electric dipole moments (predicted at 8.5 Debye) to enable new discovery capabilities on par with existing ultracold atomic systems. The award delivers both research products and educational services. Research deliverables include the development of novel KAg molecular systems prepared through magnetic Feshbach resonance and coherent Raman transfer techniques, experimental validation of quantum simulation capabilities, and scientific publications advancing understanding of microscopic origins in exotic matter phases. Educational components encompass graduate and undergraduate student training in quantum hardware and technologies, and development of a new graduate-level course on atomic physics integrating modern quantum information science with atomic systems. The project is conducted at the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois.
