This award supports the renewal of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at Louisiana State University. The intended impact of this program is fostering interest in careers in science, by introducing students to the nature of research-oriented careers in physics and astronomy and by developing research-related skills and knowledge. REU students are recruited nationally; students can be of any academic year and need not have a declared major, but must have completed the general physics sequence at their school. For the ten-week program, the participants will be matched with faculty mentors based on student interests. Students will join their mentors in active research projects, such as: - performing analysis on data from the long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment T2K;- simulating black holes and supernova explosions on the nation's fastest supercomputers, to determine their visibility in gravitational, electromagnetic, and neutrino detectors; and- designing quantum error correction codes and quantum memory for photonic qubits.Weekly seminars and workshops introduce the students to faculty research, to skills development, to common research resources, and to professional development topics such as ethics and patents/intellectual property. Students participate in field trips and other activities, some of which are coordinated with concurrent LSU summer science programs in computer science, biomedical science and other areas. Students from all programs are lodged in proximity at on-campus apartment-style housing, to foster group interactions and a sense of community.

该奖项支持路易斯安那州立大学本科生研究经验(REU)网站的续签。该计划的预期效果是通过向学生介绍物理和天文学中以研究为导向的职业的性质，以及通过发展与研究相关的技能和知识来培养对科学职业的兴趣。REU的学生是在全国范围内招收的；学生可以是任何学年的学生，不需要有申报的专业，但必须在他们的学校完成普通物理课程。在为期十周的项目中，参与者将根据学生的兴趣与教师导师配对。学生将与导师一起参与积极的研究项目，例如：-对来自长基线中微子振荡实验T2K的数据进行分析；-在美国最快的超级计算机上模拟黑洞和超新星爆炸，以确定它们在引力、电磁和中微子探测器中的可见性；以及-为光子量子比特设计量子纠错码和量子存储器。每周的研讨会和工作坊向学生介绍教职研究、技能发展、共同研究资源，以及伦理和专利/知识产权等专业发展主题。学生们参加实地考察和其他活动，其中一些活动与路易斯安那州立大学计算机科学、生物医学和其他领域的并行暑期科学项目相协调。来自所有项目的学生都住在校园公寓式的住处附近，以培养群体互动和社区意识。
