The National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded Oklahoma State University $282,363 on August 15, 2026, under the CAREER Program (Assistance Listing 47.049) to conduct theoretical investigations of quantum many-body dynamics and entanglement generation in spatially and temporally controlled spin systems. The project investigates quantum entanglement control through four research components: spatially designed geometries, temporal control and Hamiltonian design, dynamic spatial rearrangement, and multi-level qudits systems. The work aims to develop a toolbox for robust entanglement generation by exploiting static engineering and dynamic control over spatial and temporal structure, interactions, and internal states. The educational component includes high-school workshops and master classes on quantum entanglement and enhanced sensing, engaging 45 students and teachers annually across Oklahoma. Performance occurs at Oklahoma State University's Stillwater, Oklahoma campus through July 31, 2031. The award supports both theoretical research and workforce development activities aligned with building a quantum-ready and quantum-aware workforce to advance U.S. competitiveness in quantum information science.
