Mission
The Center for Synthesizing Quantum Coherence (CSQC), an intensively collaborative enterprise, exists to create, sustain, and exploit quantum coherence to direct chemical dynamics and functionality.
Vision
Imagine the revolutionary possibilities that would be created by designing and realizing coherent pathways that use absorbed photons to localize energy, charge, or spin in order to perform targeted chemistry in warm, wet, and noisy condensed phase environments. This Center will establish new approaches to manipulate the structure and dynamics of matter, enabled by learning how to use the coherent motion of particles and excitation energy to direct and redirect chemistry.
The Center for Synthesizing Quantum Coherence (CSQC) is a National Science Foundation Phase I Center for Chemical Innovation. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under the CCI Phase I: NSF Center for Synthesizing Quantum Coherence, grant number CHE-1925690.
