The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded a $310,466 CAREER grant to the University of Texas at Austin effective August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2031, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The award supports integrated research and educational initiatives focused on pseudorandomness in quantum many-body physics and quantum information science. The research component develops theoretical tools and practical protocols for characterizing complex quantum dynamics on current and future quantum computers and simulators, with specific focus on diagnostics of equilibration, chaos, and localization transitions using quantum error-correcting codes. The educational component delivers freely available resources including video lectures and interactive computational tutorials on quantum physics and quantum computation, designed for broad non-expert audiences to support training of the next generation of quantum scientists and engineers. This CAREER award represents NSF's commitment to advancing fundamental science at the intersection of cryptography, physics, and quantum technology. By establishing pseudorandomness as a conceptual bridge between deterministic quantum systems and apparent complexity, the project addresses foundational questions regarding thermodynamic irreversibility while simultaneously advancing practical protocols for quantum technology applications. The dual-track approach integrating cutting-edge research with accessible educational content positions the award to generate both scholarly contributions and workforce development benefits across the quantum information science field.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
