The University of Maryland, College Park received a $563,848 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop quantum photonic technologies integrating alkali vapor atoms with photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The project, which began July 1, 2026, and extends through June 30, 2029, focuses on investigating interactions between single rubidium atoms and photons within PIC microresonators to create compact, room-temperature single-photon sources on demand. These single-photon sources are designed to serve as foundational building blocks for quantum communications, simulations, and sensing applications that leverage quantum principles to outperform existing classical technologies. The research directly addresses NSF's mission to advance scientific progress and national prosperity by developing a scalable, deployable framework for quantum photonic devices. Beyond technical development, the project delivers workforce development through training students in atomic physics, microfabrication, and photonics disciplines—equipping them with essential skills for the emerging quantum economy. The effort tackles fundamental technical challenges including Doppler broadening, ultra-short atomic transit times, and potential photonic integrated circuit degradation from rubidium-surface interactions to achieve non-classical light emission capabilities.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
