Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program supports the enhancement of research capabilities of minority-serving institutions through the establishment of centers that effectively integrate education and research. CREST promotes the development of new knowledge, enhancements of the research productivity of individual faculty, and an expanded presence of students historically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. With National Science Foundation support, Norfolk State University intends to establish a multidisciplinary CREST Center for Research and Education in Quantum Leap Science and Technology (CREQS) for development of new quantum-based technology and for the education of the 21st century quantum science workforce with emphasis on the production of scientists and engineers from groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines. The proposed center will expand access to science education for students underrepresented in STEM fields; foster outreach to the local community and introduce quantum related science to the general public. Successful implementation of this work will advance discovery in emergent quantum technology and result in the development of K12, undergraduate and graduate students. The goal of the CREST Center for Research and Education in Quantum Leap Science and Technology is to investigate and develop materials, phenomena, and manufacturing techniques for fabrication of next-generation quantum devices. This goal is intended to be accomplished using three synergistic research thrusts. Thrust 1 will focus on discovery and synthesis of new topological quantum materials including chiral structured semimetals that are predicted to host Dirac, Weyl and Majorana fermions. The work will include an intensive materials synthesis effort, combined with fundamental investigations of their magnetic, optical, and transport properties. Thrust 2 will explore quantum plasmonic effects that involve spin angular momentum transfer from light to matter, as well as strongly confined and structured optical fields which can result in new ways for light and matter to be controlled at the nanoscale. Thrust 3 will focus on integration of quantum- and nanomaterials into nanoscale devices by combining the fundamental materials properties knowledge obtained in Thrusts 1 and 2 with the advanced manufacturing facilities available in the NSU 6,000 square foot class 100/1000 cleanroom. This will allow development of novel techniques for integration of fermionic quantum materials, spintronic magnetic materials, and materials with unforeseen properties into high precision quantum devices.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

科学和技术卓越研究中心(CREST)计划通过建立有效整合教育和研究的中心，支持增强少数群体服务机构的研究能力。CREST促进了新知识的发展，提高了个别教师的研究效率，并扩大了在科学、技术、工程和数学学科中历来代表性不足的学生的存在。在国家科学基金会的支持下，诺福克州立大学打算建立一个多学科的CREST量子飞跃科学与技术研究和教育中心(CREQS)，用于开发新的基于量子的技术，并为21世纪的量子科学劳动力提供教育，重点是培养来自STEM学科历史上代表性不足的群体的科学家和工程师。拟建的中心将扩大STEM领域代表性不足的学生接受科学教育的机会；促进与当地社区的接触，并向普通公众介绍与量子相关的科学。这项工作的成功实施将促进新兴量子技术的发现，并导致K12、本科生和研究生的发展。CREST量子跃迁科学技术研究和教育中心的目标是研究和开发用于制造下一代量子器件的材料、现象和制造技术。这一目标旨在通过三个协同研究推进来实现。推力1将专注于发现和合成新的拓扑量子材料，包括手性结构的半金属，预计将拥有狄拉克、韦尔和马约拉纳费米子。这项工作将包括密集的材料合成工作，以及对其磁性、光学和传输性质的基础研究。推力2将探索量子等离子效应，包括自旋角动量从光到物质的转移，以及强受限和结构化的光场，这可能导致光和物质在纳米尺度上被控制的新方法。推力3将专注于将量子和纳米材料集成到纳米设备中，将在推力1和2中获得的基本材料特性知识与南加州大学6000平方英尺100/1000级洁净室提供的先进制造设施相结合。这将允许开发新的技术，将费米子量子材料、自旋电子磁性材料和具有不可预见的特性的材料集成到高精度量子设备中。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
