JILA's recent advancements in the precision of strontium optical lattice clocks have garnered significant recognition, with Physics World Magazine highlighting their achievement. The research team from JILA and the University of Colorado, Boulder, has set a new record in measuring the frequency of an optical lattice clock with an unprecedented systematic uncertainty of 8.1 × 10⁻¹⁹. This level of precision is equivalent to a fraction of a second over the entire universe age, underscoring the importance of this development in the field of atomic clocks.

JILA Fellow and NIST physicist Adam Kaufman, alongside his dedicated team, has garnered significant attention in a Physics World article for their innovative work in the field of quantum physics. The team’s research has resulted in developing a boson sampler that utilizes atoms instead of photons, marking a significant advancement in the simulation of complex quantum states. The results of their work were recently published in Nature.
