The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $360,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for the project "SOLVING THE QUANTUM MANY-BODY PROBLEM IN MOIRE MATERIALS WITH QUANTUM GEOMETRY & TENSOR NETWORKS". The 5-year project, which commenced on February 1, 2026, aims to develop new computational methods and mathematical tools to study the emergent behavior of fractional electric charges in quantum mechanical systems like semiconductors. Key objectives include investigating the stabilization of these fractional charges at higher temperatures and predicting materials where this phenomenon may appear. The research will also involve training and advancing capabilities in quantum sciences, including the development of a "quantum tutorial" workshop at UCSD. The grant supports fundamental scientific research that could have broader technological and societal impacts, such as enabling the development of stable quantum memory for scalable quantum computing.
