The National Science Foundation (NSF), through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill a Project Grant of $655,150 on March 15, 2026, for research on nonlinear optical two-dimensional perovskite light sources for quantum technologies. Under the direction of Professor Andrew Moran and supported by the Chemical Structure and Dynamics program in the Chemistry Section, this research initiative will investigate two-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite quantum wells as tunable light sources suitable for quantum information technologies. The project employs nonlinear optical spectroscopies, including four-wave-mixing techniques, to examine how spin dynamics and many-body interactions within perovskite materials can be exploited to control photon properties internally, eliminating the need for external optical components in quantum communication systems. The research will extend through February 28, 2029, and will advance fundamental understanding of ultrafast material dynamics and their influence on quantum light properties while clarifying the practical feasibility of perovskite materials as quantum light sources. The project deliverables include scientific investigations into spin relaxation processes within exciton fine structures and development of novel light source technologies applicable to secure quantum communication. Additionally, the award supports education and workforce development through training of graduate and undergraduate students in interdisciplinary quantum research methodologies and the creation of public engagement tools designed to introduce quantum communication concepts to broader audiences.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
