JILA and NIST scientists, collaborating with Colorado-based quantum computing company Quantinuum, have developed a set of protocols to test for a quantum sensor's upper bound using the integrated Quantum Fisher Information (IQFI) value. Their study was recently published in Physical Review Applied.

Dr. Liao serves as assistant director of research and knowledge transfer for STROBE, an NSF Science and Technology Center. His research interests include developing and utilizing coherent light sources from infrared to x-ray regimes to study condensed matter physics and materials science.

Professor Adam Kaufman (Physics), a JILA fellow and NIST physicist, has been awarded a grant as part of the 2023 Young Investigator Research Program (YIP), launched by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. YIP recipients receive three-year grants of up to $450K.

The prize, part of the Chicago Quantum Exchange, promotes early career research and diversity within the field of quantum science. Young was recognized for his contributions to the strontium tweezer array experiment in JILA Fellow and NIST physicist Adam Kaufman's lab.

NIST and ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder researchers continually work to improve the accuracy of the atomic clocks housed in their laboratories. In the case of the NIST-F1 cesium atomic clock, which serves as the U.S.'s primary time and frequency standard, this process has included rebuilding parts of the clock.

TIME has awarded Albert, ColdQuanta’s cloud-based quantum matter machine, as one of 2022's Best Inventions. “I am proud to say that the roots of Albert run deep into the education and research mission of ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä," said Anderson, who founded ColdQuanta and served as CEO before becoming Chief Strategy Officer.

The Optics and Photonics Research Group at ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder, led by Professor Juliet Gopinath (Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering), has recently demonstrated meaningful advances in fiber-based, quantum-enhanced remote sensing and probing of photosensitive materials.

This new quantum focus in the research alliance between Lockheed Martin and ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder represents the latest extension of this longstanding, wide-ranging relationship, which was expanded when the organizations entered into a Master Research Agreement in 2019.

JILA Fellow Margaret Murnane has been selected as a recipient of the 2022 Institute of Physics Isaac Newton Medal and Prize. This prestigious award honors the legacy of the famous physicist Sir Isaac Newton, by commending those who have made world-leading contributions in the field of physics.

As described in their paper recently published in Nature, the Thompson group at JILA has combined the spookiness of both entanglement and delocalization to realize a matter-wave interferometer that can sense accelerations with a precision that surpasses the standard quantum limit for the first time.
