The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded $550,096 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support fundamental research on thulium ions for quantum computing applications. The three-year project, active from July 15, 2026 through June 30, 2029, seeks to develop direct control of singly-ionized thulium as a polyvalent atomic ion platform for advancing atom-based quantum computers. The research will extend existing trapped-ion quantum computing hardware to species with complex electronic structures, potentially enabling more powerful quantum processors with greater efficiency and smaller form factors than current systems. The project deliverables include the spectroscopic knowledge, technical expertise, and proof-of-concept hardware development necessary to establish thulium ions as a viable quantum computing platform beyond the conventional one- and two-electron ions currently in use. As a fundamental research initiative with national defense implications, the work is expected to contribute to both technical scientific literacy and the Nation's quantum information processing capabilities. No sub-awards are planned for this project, with all research and development activities to be performed directly at UCLA's Los Angeles campus.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
