Quantum many-body dynamics is a theoretically and computationally intensive field that pushes the limits of quantum theory; the highly flexible systems presented in experiments on ultracold atoms and molecules allow one to directly address foundational questions in the field. Ultracold molecules have applications in quantum computing and in high precision physics. The intellectual merit of this project is to develop the theory of ultracold molecules towards realistic realizations of such ideas in experiments. The theoretical methods range from mainly pencil and paper mathematical techniques to high performance computing using dedicated on-campus facilities.We plan a multi-faceted approach to meet broader impact goals. First, American Physical Society meetings will continue to be organized as well as other national and international conferences. Second, large numbers of undergraduate researchers will be trained via the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) senior design (senior thesis) program and combined BS/MS program, increasing the number of highly trained engineers and physical scientists to meet the present needs of the U.S. Third, as part of assigned teaching duties at CSM, physics education research will be conducted in graduate electromagnetism, in order to improve teaching of this key topic in physics, and the results will be disseminated nationally. Fourth, an accepting, diverse environment will continue to be fostered within the research group to support underrepresented groups in physics. Fifth and finally, the training of students in rigorous numerical techniques and high-performance parallel computing is key to success in a number of arenas in society, from the space program to global climate change. This project will train such students, and support a PI involved in that effort from the undergraduate through post-doctoral levels.

量子多体动力学是一个理论上和计算密集的领域，它突破了量子理论的限制。在超电原子和分子实验中介绍的高度灵活的系统使人们可以直接解决该领域的基础问题。 Ultracold分子在量子计算和高精度物理学中都有应用。 该项目的智力优点是将超低分子的理论发展为实验中这种思想的现实实现。 理论方法的范围从主要是铅笔和纸数学技术到使用专用校园设施的高性能计算。我们计划一种多方面的方法来满足更广泛的影响目标。 首先，美国物理社会会议以及其他国家和国际会议将继续组织。 其次，大量的本科研究人员将通过科罗拉多州矿业学院（CSM）高级设计（高级论文）计划和BS/MS计划进行培训，从而增加了训练有素的工程师和物理科学家的数量，以满足当前的需求美国第三，作为CSM指定的教学职责的一部分，将在研究生电磁学中进行物理教育研究，以改善物理学的关键主题，并且结果将在全国范围内传播。 第四，在研究小组中将继续培养一个接受，多样化的环境，以支持物理中代表性不足的群体。 第五也是最后，对学生进行严格的数值技术和高性能并行计算的培训是从太空计划到全球气候变化的许多领域成功的关键。该项目将培训这些学生，并支持本科生到博士后级别的PI涉及的PI。
