Annual report dates come from the budget period on your award notice. That date is not public, so it is not shown here.

How we got this date

NSF lists this award's end date as 30 April 2028.
NSF rules say the final report is due no later than 120 days after that.
So the final report is due by 28 August 2028.

Abstract

This project aims to make wireless communications much more efficient and accessible by creating a new kind of antenna. Instead of using traditional metal antennas which are large, heavy, and limited in how small they can be, the project team will use a special quantum technology based on atoms called Rydberg atoms. These quantum antennas can be made much smaller (e.g., about 7 cm compared to 25 meters for…
