This $298,494 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics supports research on "Beyond Mean-Field Physics in Dynamical Bose-Einstein Condensates" under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The project aims to explore a variety of nonequilibrium processes in ultracold quantum gases, with a focus on investigating quantum and thermal fluctuation effects on the collision and thermalization of cold atoms, quantum phase...

This $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support theoretical research at Louisiana State University (LSU) on novel phases of confined cold atomic gases from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The research team at LSU will develop new predictions for possible collective states of trapped cold atomic gases, shedding light on emergent phenomena like superfluidity and magnetism. They will study implications of recent...

The Department of Energy's Office of Science awarded a $125,000 Project Grant to the University of Houston System, doing business as the University of Houston, to provide student participation support for the Quark Matter 2023 conference. The award period is from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024, and is funded through the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049). As a Hispanic Serving Institution, the University of Houston System has a history of providing research, education,...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,840 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of San Diego (USD) to conduct research on quantum analog simulation with Bose-Einstein condensates in flexible light fields. The project, titled "EXPANDQISE: TRACK 1: QUANTUM ANALOG SIMULATION WITH BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATES IN FLEXIBLE LIGHT FIELDS," will leverage a flexible apparatus to create arrays of dilute-gas Bose-Einstein...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Physics provides $221,184 to the University of Massachusetts Office of Grant & Contract Administration in Hadley, MA from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "From Quantum Droplets & Spinor Solitons to Vortex Knots & Topological States: Beyond the Standard Mean-Field in Atomic BECs." This research aligns with the goals of the Mathematical and...

This EAGER (Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) award of $295,279 from the National Science Foundation's Division of Materials Research, administered under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports theoretical and computational research investigating novel approaches to dynamical control of quantum systems through locally-driven quantum engineering. Awarded September 15, 2025, with completion targeted for August 31, 2027, the research is being conducted at...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports theoretical and computational research and education into quantum mechanical systems of interacting particles far from equilibrium. The $294,777 award to the Trustees of Boston University will focus on two major themes: (1) understanding, characterizing, and controlling chaos in interacting many-particle systems; and (2) developing formalism for...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program aims to advance the understanding of atomic multi-body interactions and enable coherent control of Efimov physics using 7Li atoms. The $125,499 award supports a collaborative theoretical and experimental research effort between U.S. and Israeli institutions to develop efficient computational techniques and experimental methods for manipulating few-atom quantum...

This $649,435 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a tabletop experiment at the University of Chicago with unprecedented sensitivity to hadronic CP violation. The experiment aims to develop a new approach using an optically-trapped, ultracold gas of the polar molecule francium-223 (223FrAg) to search for the Schiff moment of francium-223. This has the potential to increase sensitivity to nuclear charge distribution deformations by a factor of 1,000 beyond the...
