This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics studies fundamental building blocks of functional matter, including atoms and their constituents, molecules, and light at the quantum level. AMO physics has been a cornerstone for modern science and technologies, particularly the emerging field of quantum information science and technology. This project aims to form a strategic partnership between the Department of Physics at Florida International University (FIU) and the JILA Physics Frontier Center (JILA PFC) in the JILA institute to promote and advance diversity and research excellence in AMO physics at both institutions. The research goals will be achieved through two major research thrusts (ultra-cold atomic physics and single-molecule biophysics) that are designed to leverage the world-class experts at JILA PFC as well as the existing research capabilities at FIU. The project will improve the recruitment, retainment, and degree attainment of graduate students from underrepresented groups in both institutions by implementing PREP pathway improvement strategies. This partnership will advance research in AMO physics and improve the diversity of graduate students in both institutions. The proposed FIU-JILA partnership will conduct research in two major thrusts to advance AMO physics, particularly in understanding (1) many-body physics in ultra-cold atom arrays and (2) single-molecule biophysics. In thrust 1, the investigators will use femtosecond laser-based ultrafast spectroscopy to study many-body effects including interactions, correlations, and collective effects in atom arrays for applications in fundamental many-body physics and quantum technologies. They will also use femtosecond pulses to realize ultrafast manipulation of quantum states in atom arrays. In thrust 2, state-of-the-art single-molecule imaging and measurement techniques including confocal and total internal reflection microscopy, the integration of nanopipette-based electrochemical techniques with the single-molecule fluorescence techniques, the atomic force microscopy-based high-precision single-molecule force techniques, and molecular dynamics simulations will be developed and used to study folding kinetics and dynamics of biomolecules and intracellular single-molecule delivery and detection. The partnership will also improve the diversity of physics graduate students in both FIU and JILA by implementing PREP pathway improvement strategies including faculty/student exchange visits, engaging undergraduate students in summer research at JILA PFC, engaging undergraduate and graduate students in proposed research activities at FIU, student mentoring, and public lectures at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science in Miami.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.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）全部或部分资助的。原子，分子和光学（AMO）物理学研究的基本功能物质的基础，包括原子及其成分，分子和量子水平的光。 AMO物理学一直是现代科学和技术的基石，尤其是量子信息科学技术的新兴领域。该项目旨在在佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）与吉拉研究所（Jila Institute）的Jila Physics Frontier Center（Jila PFC）之间建立战略合作伙伴关系，以促进和提高两个机构AMO物理学的多样性和研究卓越。研究目标将通过两个主要的研究推力（超冷原子物理学和单分子生物物理学）实现，旨在利用Jila PFC的世界一流专家以及FIU的现有研究能力。该项目将通过实施准备途径改进策略来改善来自这两个机构中代表性不足群体的研究生的招聘，保留和学位。这种合作伙伴关系将推进AMO物理学的研究，并改善两个机构的研究生的多样性。 拟议的FIU-JILA合作伙伴关系将以两种主要推力进行研究，以推动AMO物理学，特别是在理解（1）超冷原子阵列中的多体物理学和（2）单分子生物物理学中。在推力1中，研究人员将使用基于飞秒激光的超快光谱法来研究多体效应，包括相互作用，相关性和原子阵列中的集体效应，用于在基本的多体物理和量子技术中应用。他们还将使用飞秒脉冲来实现对原子阵列中量子状态的超快操纵。在推力2中，最先进的单分子成像和测量技术在内，包括共焦和总内部反射显微镜，基于纳米夹的电化学技术与单分子荧光技术的整合，基于原子力显微镜的基于基于原子显微镜的高架力量和分子的动力学的动力学，并将基于原子的荧光技术进行了模拟。生物分子和细胞内单分子递送和检测。该伙伴关系还将通过实施准备途径改进策略，包括教师/学生交流访问，使本科生在JILA PFC的夏季研究中吸引本科生的研究，并在FIU的研究活动中，在FIU的研究活动中从事夏季研究和研究生，从事PHILIP和PATRIP的研究，从事夏季的研究和研究生，从而，将在FIU和JILA中提高物理学研究生的多样性。 NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估值得支持。
