Project Grant W911NF1810218

The National Science Foundation awarded Virginia Commonwealth University a $800,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop energy efficient quantum control of robust spin ensemble qubits. The three-year award will support research to simulate and demonstrate highly localized control of qubits using nanomagnets driven by electric fields at spin qubit Larmor frequencies. This aims to implement single-qubit quantum gates with high fidelities...

This three-year, $284,063 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support research into advances in quantum control and noise mitigation using a highly accurate quantum testbed. The University of Arizona, operating through the Arizona Board of Regents, will lead collaborative experimental and theoretical work to develop new techniques for quantum control and shielding quantum devices from noise. Researchers will employ a small,...

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...
