Project Grant FA95502210335

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program, CFDA 47.083, provides $539,000 to develop a Rydberg tweezer quantum processor with real-time optical cavity readout at the University of California, Berkeley from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023. The award will enable measurements of a portion of a complex quantum system while the remainder continues to evolve coherently. This will be realized using arrays of optically trapped single atoms with...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, provides $285,861 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on ponderomotive optical traps and site-selective addressing for Rydberg-atom quantum information science. The project aims to develop laser-trap arrays that minimize motional decoherence and enable in-trap quantum simulation by precisely localizing Rydberg atoms. The research will...

This Project Grant award, valued at $214,419 and effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028, was issued by the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The primary objective of this project is to develop an experimental simulation system using ultracold dipolar molecules confined in optical lattices to investigate new states of quantum matter and advance the understanding of physical processes behind...

The awardee, the Research Foundation for the State University of New York, will receive funding from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2023. The Principal Investigator will use analytical and computational...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of a new quantum simulation platform at William Marsh Rice University. The $182,905 award, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027, will enable the research team to construct an optical tweezer assembly for studying the dynamics of interacting quantum systems in synthetic dimensions. The goal is to use this platform to investigate...

This federal Project Grant award of $700,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) supports research led by Professor Hendrik Utzat at the University of California, Berkeley to advance a new form of spectroscopy to study the loss of coherence in single-photon emitters critical to quantum information science (QIS) technologies. The key objectives of this 5-year research project are to: 1) quantify the contributions of...

This $426,117 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research into topological excitations in spin-1 and spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensates at Amherst College from July 2022 through June 2025. The principal investigator and undergraduate collaborators will study the creation and time evolution of quasiparticles such as monopoles, knots, skyrmions, and vortices in optically trapped rubidium-87 Bose-Einstein...
