Relating string theory and particle physics. Currently, string theory is the only consistent candidate to provide unification of gravity with the other fundamental interactions. This project will discover a deeper interplay between string theory and elementary particle physics that would bring string theory closer to the real world.
Frequency standards with breakthrough performance: engineering immunity to local oscillator instabilities using dynamical error suppression. This project aims to dramatically advance state-of-the-art performance of one of the most important technological systems in modern electronics - precision frequency standards. Our work will provide orders of magnitude gains in performance by translating new knowledge from quantum information to the precision metrology research community.
