The next quantum revolution will involve understanding and controlling the properties and dynamics of increasingly large-sized quantum systems. A better understanding of universal rules governing many-body quantum systems and deep understandings of more and more complex molecules will impact areas of science beyond quantum physics, including condensed matter and material physics, chemical and biophysics, high-energy physics, astrophysics, and nuclear physics. The Physics Frontiers Center (PFC) award to the JILA PFC will continue work begun during past PFC awards to harness interacting and interconnected atoms, molecules and photons to address frontier challenges presented by the complexity of quantum matter, and to probe elusive secrets of nature. The center program will also train a large number of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars with cutting-edge expertise in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical related physics, and it will develop tools and techniques to enhance the Nation's technological infrastructure. The JILA PFC will contribute to connecting scientific communities, by hosting workshops and schools and through the JILA visitor program. Continuing efforts to expand the undergraduate research program and a predominantly minority-serving after-school program will allow the JILA PFC to contribute to attracting the next generation of all students into science.The JILA PFC will capitalize on the development of extreme light sources and spectrographic techniques that have allowed the JILA PFC investigators to precisely engineer quantum states, probe complex interactions of atomic nuclei and electrons, and control matter in dynamic states far from equilibrium. The JILA PFC research is organized around four areas of research. The first two focus on aspects of many-body physics, including the construction of quantum matter from basic constituents and the development of quantum resources for precision measurements of physical systems including strongly interacting quantum many-body systems. The third area focuses on observations of coupled dynamics in different forms of matter, mainly solids and molecules, as well as the formation and transformation of constituents on unprecedented time scales, ranging from hundredths of a femtosecond to microseconds. The fourth area looks for opportunities to exchange ideas and technologies that could lead to projects outside of the central focus of the JILA PFC, but which would benefit either the core work of the PFC or other areas of science.

下一个量子革命将涉及理解和控制日益大型量子系统的属性和动态。 对管理多体量子系统的普遍规则以及对越来越复杂的分子的深刻理解将影响量子物理学以外的科学领域，包括凝结物质和材料物理学，化学和生物物理学，高能物理学，天体物理学和核物理学。 在过去的PFC奖励奖励期间，授予JILA PFC的物理前沿中心（PFC）奖将继续进行工作，以解决与量子物质复杂性和探索难以捉摸的大自然秘密相互作用的原子，分子和光子的相互作用和相互联系的原子，分子和光子。 该中心计划还将培训大量的研究生和博士后学者，具有原子，分子和光学相关物理学的最先进的专业知识，并将开发工具和技术以增强国家技术基础设施。 Jila PFC将通过举办研讨会和学校以及通过JILA访客计划来为连接科学社区做出贡献。继续努力扩大本科研究计划和主要是少数派的课后课程，将使Jila PFC能够为吸引所有学生吸引所有学生进入科学。在动态状态下远离平衡。 JILA PFC研究是在四个研究领域围绕的。 前两个重点是多体物理学的各个方面，包括基本成分的量子问题以及开发量子资源的开发，以精确测量物理系统，包括强烈相互作用的量子多体系统。 第三个领域的重点是观察不同形式的物质，主要是固体和分子，以及在前所未有的时间尺度上成分的形成和转化，范围从飞跃的百分之十分之一到微秒。第四领域正在寻找机会交换可能导致Jila PFC中心重点的项目的思想和技术的机会，但这将使PFC或其他科学领域的核心工作受益。
