Summary of Federal Project Grant Award Michigan State University received a $599,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. The project, "Nickel Vacancy Centers in Diamond: A New Platform for Quantum Networking," focuses on developing quantum information technologies that leverage nickel-vacancy (NIV) centers in diamond as quantum defects. The research will advance both materials science and device physics to create light-emitting quantum carriers compatible with existing fiber-optic telecommunications infrastructure, with the goal of enabling faster, more reliable, and more deployable quantum communication systems outside laboratory environments. Key deliverables include methods for generating indistinguishable photons from spatially separated emitters through electrical frequency tuning, which will support remote quantum interference and entanglement generation required for practical quantum networks. Beyond the primary research objectives, the project supports national interests in quantum information security and defense through advances in secure quantum communication. The award includes workforce development components, providing interdisciplinary training for undergraduate and graduate students and funding public engagement through hands-on quantum science outreach activities. The work will be performed at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, contributing to the NSF's mission to promote progress in mathematical and physical sciences while strengthening the nation's scientific enterprise.
