This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $150,000 to fund the research activities of Professor Monica Pate at New York University from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The research aims to advance the understanding of quantum gravity by tailoring an extension of the holographic principle to the problem of quantum gravitational scattering. Key objectives include constraining...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $225,000 will fund the research activities of Professor Oscar Varela at Utah State University (USU) from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The research project aims to explore the relationship between general relativity and quantum field theory, with the goal of reconciling these seemingly disparate theories as complementary manifestations of an overarching set of physical principles. Key technical aspects of the project include...

The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded a $248,842 Project Grant to the University of New Orleans to better understand quantum nonlocality in multiple-particle settings and refine interpretations of genuine multipartite nonlocality. Working under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the university will characterize patterns of experimental statistics consistent with new definitions of genuine multipartite nonlocality. This aims to distinguish...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Physics provides $540,000 to Louisiana State University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The award will support research into loop quantum gravity to further understanding of black hole evaporation, one of the most important outstanding problems in theoretical physics. Key research activities include studying the applicability of the weak gravity conjecture...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, with CFDA number 47.049 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program, provides $120,000 in funding to the University of Minnesota Duluth for a research project led by Professor Claire Zukowski. The project aims to advance the understanding of quantum gravity in a model approximating our known universe. Specifically, the research will apply quantum information theoretic tools to study new observables for de Sitter spacetime in...

This $390,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics to the University of Chicago supports research activities led by Professor Jeffrey A. Harvey to advance fundamental understanding of string theory and quantum field theory. The project will focus on studying the algebraic structure and symmetries of special states known as BPS states in these theoretical frameworks, with the goal of uncovering new approaches to unify the known forces of nature. The...

This $415,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Lehigh University into string theory, gravity, and strongly coupled matter through June 2025. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), professors Sera Cremonini and Timm Wrase will conduct research to further understanding of string theory and address fundamental questions about basic interactions in nature and the cosmological history of the universe. Their work will explore...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $160,000.00 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on macroscopic quantum measurement and control to probe gravity. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Extending recently demonstrated techniques to fabricate multi-centimeter-scale, mass-loaded, high-stressed torsional suspensions with mechanical...

The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded a $270,000 Project Grant to Stanford University for the project "CQIS: QUANTUM CHAOS AND QUANTUM GRAVITY FROM ENTANGLEMENT." The three-year award runs from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024 and falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The funding will support research investigating quantum chaos and quantum gravity through entanglement. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $120,000 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, operating as State University College, a non-profit organization. This funding supports research activities led by Professor Matthew Lippert at SUNY Old Westbury over the 3-year period from August 2023 to July 2026. The research funded by this grant uses string theory models and gauge/gravity duality...
