This award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in Physics at the University of California-Santa Barbara. The site will support eight students per year for nine weeks of summer research in topics including Astronomy/Astrophysics, Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Biophysics/Physics of Living Systems, Condensed Matter Physics, Gravity, Elementary Particle Physics. The REU is intended to be a transformative experience in the career path of the participants, particularly those from institutions with fewer research opportunities, by providing the necessary mentorship to explore their interest in Physics and develop the professional skills needed to succeed in a career in academia or industry.The project will develop research and professional skills of the next generation of academic physicists and the STEM workforce by giving undergraduates the opportunity to participate in cutting edge research, with faculty who have extensive experience in fostering undergraduate research from Freshman to Senior level students. The REU students will engage in research to explore black hole entropy, search for new Physics at the LHC, study the dynamics of morphogenesis, study galaxy formation, discover exoplanets, investigate novel Josephson junctions, perform quantum simulation using ultracold quantum gases, contributing to the creation and advancement of knowledge in a broad variety of research areas, at the same time learning the skills that transfer to a variety of STEM careers.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.

该奖项支持加州大学圣塔芭芭拉大学物理学的本科生（REU）网站的研究经验。该地点将在夏季研究的九周内每年为八名学生提供支持，包括天文学/天体物理学，原子质，分子和光学物理学，生物系统的生物物理学/生物物理学，凝结物理物理学，重力，基本粒子物理学。 The REU is intended to be a transformative experience in the career path of the participants, particularly those from institutions with fewer research opportunities, by providing the necessary mentorship to explore their interest in Physics and develop the professional skills needed to succeed in a career in academia or industry.The project will develop research and professional skills of the next generation of academic physicists and the STEM workforce by giving undergraduates the opportunity to participate in cutting edge research, with faculty who have extensive experience in从新生到高级学生培养本科研究。 REU学生将参与研究以探索黑洞熵，在LHC上寻找新物理学，研究形态发生的动态，研究银河系形成，发现系外行星，研究新颖的约瑟夫森连接，使用超能量的量子气体进行量子模拟，从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。
