The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded a $350,098 three-year Project Grant to the Colorado School of Mines under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support research titled "Non-equilibrium steady states and dynamics in a tapped-ion quantum simulator with engineered dissipation." The grant aims to advance understanding of major problems in physics by using a trapped-ion quantum simulator to study non-equilibrium phenomena and dynamics...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Materials Research, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049), provides $300,000 over 3 years to Princeton University to develop a theoretical framework for understanding the non-linear response of quantum materials. The project aims to establish explicit predictions for the out-of-equilibrium behavior of superconductors, one-dimensional systems, and other complex quantum materials based on...

This $300,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to The Regents of the University of Colorado to support collaborative research on non-linear response for quantum materials. The research aims to develop a theoretical framework for interpreting experiments on far-from-equilibrium systems of electrons, in order to gain new insights into the quantum mechanical dynamics underlying phenomena like charge and...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) program provides $294,777 to support theoretical and computational research and education into quantum mechanical systems of interacting particles far from equilibrium. The research has two main themes: 1) understanding quantum and classical chaos and ergodicity through adiabatic transformations, and 2) expanding the dynamics of systems with joint classical and quantum degrees of...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) provides $390,000 over three years to support theoretical research on electron transport and energy relaxation in topological and superconducting materials. The key research aims include: Investigating the topological surface and bulk effects in the excitonic insulator phase of Weyl semimetals. Studying nonreciprocal electron transport in...

This $360,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research on the quantum dynamics of near-one-dimensional systems at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State). The PI will develop theoretical tools to quantitatively model and analyze experiments on ultracold atomic gases confined to one dimension, with a focus on understanding the far-from-equilibrium dynamics and emergent hydrodynamic...

This $475,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support theoretical research and education on the physics of strongly correlated quantum materials at William Marsh Rice University from September 2022 through August 2025. Specifically, the Principal Investigator will apply and develop theoretical methods to study quantum criticality in heavy fermion systems, novel phases that emerge near quantum critical points such as candidate...

The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego to support the development of numerically efficient computational methods for simulating strongly correlated open systems far from equilibrium. Michael Galperin of UC San Diego will utilize the funding to develop auxiliary quantum master equation-dual fermion and dual boson methods as a viable alternative to existing numerical techniques for nonequilibrium Green's...

Cornell University was awarded a $240,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Physics to support theoretical research studies on non-equilibrium and emergent many-body quantum physics from September 2021 through August 2024. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise, Cornell researchers will conduct theoretical analyses of complex quantum systems...

This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $451,130 to Michigan State University to conduct research on the effects of disorder in quantum system models. Specifically, the award will support three main investigations. The first will apply tools from probability and ergodic theory to questions in quantum information science, building on the discovery of a...
