JILA Fellow Heather Lewandowski has been awarded the 2021 Boulder Faculty Excellence Award. This award was given specifically for Lewandowski's excellence in teaching and pedagogy.
The Micius Quantum Prize recognizes significant scientific advances ranging from the early conceptual contributions to the recent experimental breakthroughs. The Micius Quantum Prize 2020 focuses on the broadly defined field of quantum metrology, recognizing scientific advances ranging from early conceptual contributions to experimental breakthroughs. The laureates this year are Carlton Caves, Hidetoshi Katori, and Jun Ye.
Enabling more people to get hands-on experience with quantum atomics through access to Albert will accelerate the learning curve of a new generation of quantum pioneers.
JILA fellow Jun Ye has been named Highly Cited Researcher for 2020 by Clarivate Analytics. Ye has been awarded the Highly Cited Researcher in the field of physics every year since 2014.
Quantum science has the potential to further revolution technology in several fields, from computing to communication. As a world-renowned leader in the field, JILA Fellow Jun Ye will advise U.S. leaders on ways to bring these advances out of the lab and into real-world applications.
JILA Fellow Jun Ye will head new science and engineering institute to bring quantum discoveries out of the lab and into real-world applications.
The Office of Naval Research聽program rewards early career scientists 鈥渨ho show exceptional promise for doing creative research鈥濃攁nd JILA's Adam Kaufman's work with optical tweezers has earned that recognition.
By using optical tweezers, the Kaufman and Ye groups are exploring a new kind of optical atomic clock鈥攐ne that can run measurements for more than half a minute, an unprecedented coherence time. Not only does this finding open new possibilities for precision measurement, it鈥檚 a starting point to engineer interactions between many coherent and carefully-controlled atoms.
When the Ye group measured the total quantum state of buckyballs, we learned that this large molecule can play by full quantum rules.聽Specifically, this measurement聽resolved the rotational states of the buckyball, making it the largest and most complex molecule to be understood at this level.
