Quantum Matter and Information – Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) Quantum Matter and Information Theorists and experimentalists across a broad spectrum of disciplines are focusing their attention on entanglement and other fascinating quantum phenomena as they push the frontiers of knowledge in new and exciting ways.
Contemporary quantum science offers the promise of transformational technologies, but to advance breakthroughs in novel quantum materials, precision measurement, sensing, and quantum information, many basic challenges remain to be addressed. A deeper understanding of quantum coherence, entanglement, and the transition from quantum to classical behaviors is essential for progress in quantum theory, simulations, and experimental design.
This Scialog seeks to promote broader interactions among different sectors of the quantum science community and will facilitate connections among early career researchers from a wide cross section of academic disciplines.
Scientists from physics, chemistry, materials science, surface science, applied mathematics, computer science, engineering, and related fields will be brought together to develop new methodologies and help enhance our understanding of the quantum world with an interdisciplinary perspective. Applications to participate in the 2026 meeting are open and will be considered until April 15, 2026.
About 50 early career faculty will be invited as Fellows, ranging from their first year on faculty to recently post-tenure. Around 10 senior scientists will act as Facilitators to outline major questions, guide discussions, and assess proposals.

Cottrell Scholars Collaborative is a grant from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) that funds teams of Cottrell Scholars, Fulbright-Cottrell Scholars, or Holland awardees pursuing collaborative research and education projects. Up to four teams may each receive ,000 awards, with teams formed at the annual Cottrell Scholar Conference. The broader Cottrell Scholar Award — a three-year, ,000 individual grant — is open to early-career, tenure-track faculty in chemistry, physics, or astronomy at U.S. or Canadian universities. For the 2026 cycle, applicants must have begun their first tenure-track position during calendar year 2023. The proposal deadline is July 1, 2026.
Cottrell SEED: New Research Directions Grant is a grant from Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) that funds Cottrell Scholars and Holland Award recipients to launch high-impact, innovative research projects in chemistry, physics, or astronomy. This award targets risky, interdisciplinary, and exploratory projects where no preliminary data is required, encouraging out-of-the-box ideas with transformative potential. Eligible applicants are Cottrell Scholars at least six years beyond their award year (2019 or earlier for the 2026 cycle) or Holland Awardees at research universities or primarily undergraduate institutions in the U.S. or Canada. Awards provide $60,000 over two years, with a 10% indirect cost allowance. New Research Directions accepts only Chemistry proposals in even-numbered years.
