COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - CONSTRUCTION - IN APRIL 2021, THE PA STATE BOARD OF NURSING APPROVED THE CREATION OF A 4-YEAR BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING PROGRAM AT (LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE) LVC--THE ONLY SUCH PROGRAM IN LEBANON COUNTY, PA. TO SUPPORT THE PROGRAM’S NEEDS, LVC WILL CONSTRUCT A FACILITY THAT ACCOMMODATES 40-60 NEW NURSING STUDENTS IN EACH (ANNUAL) INCOMING CLASS, AS WELL AS 14+ NEW FULL-TIME FACULTY/STAFF. THE BUILDING WILL CONTAIN MULTIPLE TEACHING SPACES, INCLUDING FIVE SIMULATION LABS, TWO SKILLS LABS WITH EXAM SPACES, THREE CLASSROOMS, A WET LAB, AND A HOME HEALTH SIMULATION AREA. SKILLS AND SIMULATION LABS SERVE AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN THEORETICAL COURSES AND CLINICAL PLACEMENTS, SUPPORTING PROCEDURAL TRAINING AND PROVIDING HIGH-TECH MANIKINS AND SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT; THERE IS NO EXISTING CAMPUS SPACE TO SUPPORT SUCH REQUIREMENTS. THE ADDITION OF A BSN PROGRAM IS A STRATEGIC FIT WITHIN LVC’S ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND 20-YEAR HISTORY IN HEALTH PROFESSIONS. THE FACILITY ALSO PROVIDES CAPACITY FOR LVC TO LAUNCH FUTURE COMPANION HEALTH PROGRAMS.

RUI: STRUCTURE AND LOCAL EQUIVALENCE OF STABILIZERS AND STATES

CQIS: RUI: QUANTUM RESOURCES VIA FREE OPERATION SYMMETRY -RECENT AND NEAR-FUTURE QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES WILL PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF INFORMATION PROCESSING, WITH APPLICATIONS IN COMMUNICATION, COMPUTATION, AND MEASUREMENT. THIS PROJECT STUDIES UNDERLYING PROBLEMS IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS THAT MAKE ?QUANTUM ADVANTAGE? POSSIBLE. IN ADDITION TO ACHIEVING SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS THROUGH NEW RESULTS, A MAJOR PROJECT COMPONENT IS SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN REAL RESEARCH. THIS PROJECT WILL IMPLEMENT A RESOURCE THEORY FRAMEWORK TO STUDY CLASSES OF INVERTIBLE FREE OPERATIONS INCLUDING LOCAL UNITARY TRANSFORMATIONS, PERMUTATIONS OF SUBSYSTEMS, AND MATCHGATES (TWO-QUBIT OPERATORS ARISING FROM FERMIONIC PHYSICS) TO PROBE MULTIPARTICLE QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT AND CLASSICAL SIMULATABILITY, AND TO DEVELOP APPLICATIONS FOR QUANTUM PROTOCOLS. METHODOLOGY WILL UTILIZE REPRESENTATION THEORY OF LIE GROUPS AND LIE ALGEBRAS, TOGETHER WITH THE PI?S PAST RESULTS. ACHIEVEMENTS WILL CONTRIBUTE THEORETICAL RESULTS AND APPLICATIONS IN MAINSTREAM QUANTUM INFORMATION SCIENCE. 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.

RUI: ENTANGLEMENT CLASSIFICATION VIA STABILIZERS AND SUBSYSTEM STATES

CQIS: RUI: QUANTUM STATE SYMMETRY AND APPLICATIONS

RUI: HADRONIC STRUCTURE FROM SPIN OBSERVABLES IN PQCD -THE NUCLEUS OF AN ATOM IS MADE UP OF PROTONS AND NEUTRONS, WHICH ARE A PART OF A BROADER CATEGORY OF PARTICLES CALLED HADRONS. HOWEVER, THESE HADRONS ARE NOT A FUNDAMENTAL FORM OF MATTER SINCE THEY ARE COMPOSED OF OTHER PARTICLES, NAMELY, QUARKS AND GLUONS (COLLECTIVELY CALLED PARTONS). THE PARTONS FORM A DYNAMICAL SYSTEM INSIDE OF HADRONS THAT IS GOVERNED BY THE STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE. A GOAL OF NUCLEAR PHYSICS RESEARCH IS TO UNDERSTAND THIS INTERNAL STRUCTURE THROUGH THE INTERACTIONS OF THESE PARTONS, THE ELEMENTARY PIECES OF VISIBLE MATTER. IN PARTICULAR, THE ANALYSIS OF HIGH-ENERGY COLLISIONS SENSITIVE TO AN INTRINSIC PROPERTY, CALLED SPIN, OF HADRONS AND/OR PARTONS IS ESPECIALLY USEFUL. THESE OBSERVABLES ALLOW THE EXPLORATION OF THE 3-DIMENSIONAL MOTION OF PARTONS INSIDE OF HADRONS AND HOW THE PROTON'S SPIN ARISES FROM ITS CONSTITUENT PARTONS. THIS RESEARCH GIVES BETTER INSIGHT INTO THESE ASPECTS OF HADRONIC STRUCTURE AS WELL AS SUPPORTS THE SCIENCE OF THE FUTURE ELECTRON-ION COLLIDER TO BE BUILT IN THE UNITED STATES. UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS ARE INCLUDED IN SUBSTANTIVE PARTS OF THE PROJECT IN ORDER TO FOSTER THE INTERESTS OF YOUNG SCIENTISTS IN THIS SUBFIELD OF NUCLEAR PHYSICS AND TRAIN THEM FOR FUTURE CAREERS IN RESEARCH. THIS RESEARCH PROJECT FURTHERS OUR KNOWLEDGE OF OBSERVABLES SENSITIVE TO PARTON INTRINSIC TRANSVERSE MOTION AND CORRELATIONS, WHICH ALLOW FOR A 3-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING OF HADRONS IN MOMENTUM SPACE, AS WELL AS THE ORIGIN OF THE PROTON'S SPIN. THIS INCLUDES PERFORMING BAYESIAN MONTE CARLO GLOBAL ANALYSES OF DATA FROM VARIOUS EXPERIMENTS, INCLUDING ELECTRON-POSITRON, ELECTRON-PROTON, AND PROTON-PROTON COLLISIONS FOR SINGLE-HADRON AND DIHADRON FINALS STATES, SENSITIVE TO THE SPIN OF PARTONS AND/OR HADRONS, WITH A RIGOROUS INCORPORATION OF GLUON RADIATION EFFECTS. PREDICTIONS ARE ALSO MADE FOR FUTURE MEASUREMENTS AT DIFFERENT EXPERIMENTAL FACILITIES. IN ADDITION, ONE NEEDS A ROBUST THEORETICAL FORMALISM IN ORDER TO INTERPRET EXPERIMENTAL DATA. THIS PROJECT SOLIDIFIES THE FRAMEWORK USED IN DIHADRON SPIN OBSERVABLES THROUGH NEXT-TO-LEADING ORDER CALCULATIONS OF SOME REACTIONS. LASTLY, THIS PROJECT DEVELOPS THE MACHINERY TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH SPIN ARISES FROM PARTONS THAT CARRY A SMALL FRACTION X OF THE PROTON?S MOMENTUM, WHICH IS A CRUCIAL, YET POORLY-CONSTRAINED, PIECE OF HOW THE PROTON?S SPIN DYNAMICALLY ARISES FROM ITS CONSTITUENT PARTONS. 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.
