This work will advance understanding of major problems in the mathematical and physical sciences...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $1,715,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) to conduct research on ultrafast strong-field control of coherence and entanglement in atoms and molecules. The research focuses on investigating and controlling the rapid motion of electrons and atoms within molecules using precise external forces from high-intensity, ultrafast laser...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) provides $636,210 to Stony Brook University to develop experimental approaches for studying the ultrafast dynamics of electrons and nuclei in small molecules following the absorption of light. The research team will generate and shape ultrafast laser pulses to capture detailed "movies" of the coupled electron-nuclear motions, with the goal of gaining a more comprehensive...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $561,949 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Arizona State University (ASU) on August 15, 2025. The grant supports a research program to advance the field of optical intensity interferometry using single photon detectors coupled to small telescopes. The key objectives of the program are to: (i) develop a time calibration system for automated photon correlation measurements, (ii) enable multi-band...
- This $597,560 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports Professor Stephen Bradforth of the University of Southern California, along with his collaborators from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, in studying light-driven chemical reactions that generate radical ion pairs. The research aims to develop ultrafast spectroscopies to understand the role of quantum entanglement in these...
- This $557,686 National Science Foundation award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) funds research at Temple University from September 2022 through August 2025 related to molecular quantum control and spectroscopy using light-dressed states. The principal investigators will utilize laser interactions with diatomic molecules to study transition strengths between energy states, investigate the electronic structure of dysprosium and erbium dimer molecules, and control...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $431,020 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Delaware (UDE) to conduct research on understanding the multi-electron dynamics involved in molecular interactions with high-intensity laser fields. The project seeks to move beyond simplified one-electron models and investigate how the collective, multi-electron responses in atoms and molecules contribute to electric...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $128,948 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.049) to Arizona State University, doing business as Orspa, to investigate the light-driven motion of electrons in atoms and molecules using advanced attosecond spectroscopy techniques. The research project aims to understand the coherent electronic wavepacket motion and how changes in atomic positions impact electron charge distribution after excitation by light. The findings from this work will enhance the fundamental understanding of key quantum processes underlying phenomena such as photosynthesis, vision, and DNA damage. The project, with a period of performance from January 1, 2026 to January 31, 2027, will provide important scientific training for graduate and undergraduate students, contributing to the development of the future scientific workforce.
