The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded $698,003 to the University of California, Santa Cruz on July 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support a CAREER award led by Professor Xiao Wang. The primary deliverable is the development of a comprehensive suite of wavefunction-based ab initio quantum electrodynamics (QED) computational methods for modeling strong light-matter coupling in extended systems. These methods—including periodic QED generalizations of Hartree-Fock, second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory, configuration interaction methods, and coupled-cluster theory with equation-of-motion extensions—will enable rational design of two-dimensional (2D) quantum materials such as hexagonal boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides confined in optical cavities to form polaritons for quantum information science applications in quantum sensing, quantum computing, and secure quantum communication. The project also delivers educational and outreach products, including a multidimensional study of quantum mechanics learning challenges among chemistry students, a freely available web-based interactive quantum chemistry laboratory module designed to improve quantum literacy at UCSC, and a guest seminar series exposing students to quantum science research and career opportunities. The award extends through June 30, 2031, supporting both the development of high-accuracy computational simulation tools addressing current limitations in quantum platform design and coordinated efforts to enhance quantum science education and workforce development.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
