The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded the University of Massachusetts Boston $282,335 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct theoretical and experimental research on coherent control of three-body interactions in ultracold quantum gases of lithium-7 atoms as part of a US-Israel joint project. The research combines advanced theoretical approaches with experimental techniques to deepen understanding of universality in few-body physics. The principal investigator will develop realistic theoretical models using hyper-spherical adiabatic representation to account for hyperfine and electrostatic interatomic interactions, and will extend Floquet formalism to implement coherent control over few-body collision processes. The experimental work will explore novel interaction regimes including Efimov phenomena in lithium-7 and physics near narrow Feshbach resonances. The studies of few-body superposition states will enable precision measurements of interactions and new methods for manipulating few-body collisions to enhance stability and lifetime of strongly interacting quantum systems. The project includes training of graduate and undergraduate students in theoretical and experimental quantum gas physics. The award period extends through July 31, 2029, with performance taking place at the University of Massachusetts Boston campus in Dorchester, Massachusetts.
