SGER: Quantum Coherence in Superconducting and Normal Systems

该奖项是作为探索性研究（SGER）的小额赠款。理论研究涉及各种物理系统中的量子相干性。因此，该研究可能会在量子信息科学中找到应用。此外，一些被考虑的系统在纳米尺度上具有新颖的特性。正在研究的系统包括冷约束费米气体中可能的相变和小金属颗粒的磁性。同样需要研究的还有超导颗粒和薄膜。这些研究的重点将是澄清在理论和实验之间的界面上阻碍进展的理论问题。除了康奈尔大学，这项工作还将与英国伯明翰和德国慕尼黑的研究小组合作完成。这个奖项是作为探索性研究（SGER）的小额赠款。理论研究涉及各种物理系统中的量子相干性。因此，该研究可能会在量子信息科学中找到应用。此外，一些被考虑的系统在纳米尺度上具有新颖的特性。正在研究的系统包括冷约束费米气体中可能的相变和小金属颗粒的磁性。同样需要研究的还有超导颗粒和薄膜。这些研究的重点将是澄清在理论和实验之间的界面上阻碍进展的理论问题。除了康奈尔大学外，这项工作还将与英国伯明翰和德国慕尼黑的研究小组合作完成

This award is made as a Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER). The theoretical research deals with quantum coherence in a variety of physical systems. As such, the research may find application in quantum information sciences. In addition, some of the systems to be considered have novel properties at the nanoscale. The systems under investigation include possible phase transitions in cold confined Fermi gases and magnetic properties of small metal grains. Also to be studied are superconducting grains and films. The focus of these studies will be the clarification of theoretical issues that are impeding progress at the interface between theory and experiment. The work will be done in collaboration with groups at Birmingham in England and Munich in Germany, in addition to Cornell.%%%This award is made as a Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER).
