The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded the University of Oklahoma $449,999 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop entangling gate methods for light-pulse atom interferometers that combine quantum-information-processing techniques with atom interferometry for gravity measurements. The project will investigate entangled matter-wave beam splitters using induced electric dipole-dipole interactions between atoms excited to Rydberg states in a neutral-atom optical tweezer array with single-atom detection and control. Through detailed theoretical and experimental studies of quantum dynamics and interferometric protocols, the recipient will generate and characterize maximally entangled states that couple internal and spatial degrees of freedom. The resulting experimental platform will establish a testbed for quantum-enhanced gravimetry and explore gravitationally induced decoherence and entanglement. The award supports development of a quantum-ready workforce through training of graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and undergraduates. The recipient will develop a course on quantum coherent sensing to broaden educational opportunities in quantum technologies. Performance occurs in Norman, Oklahoma, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2029. The University of Oklahoma's Office of Research Administration administers the award.
