JILA and NIST Fellows Ana Maria Rey, Jun Ye, and Adam Kaufman have been highlighted in a recent Financial Times article, "The Mind-Bending New Science of Measuring Time," by Oliver Roeder. The piece delves into the forefront of precision timekeeping and its implications for understanding fundamental physics.

Jun Ye's contributions to nuclear clock research and his reflections on timekeeping as a pathway to uncover nature's deepest secrets were central to the article. Ana Maria Rey's theoretical work on atomic behavior and her vision for room-temperature superconductors showcased her innovative approach to quantum systems. Adam Kaufman was noted for his pioneering experiments involving optical tweezers and their application to quantum materials simulation.

This recognition underscores JILA's status as a hub for groundbreaking advancements in timekeeping and quantum science, with research that could redefine our understanding of time and space.
