Precision Measurement

JILA and NIST Fellow Ana Maria Rey, a physics professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, was prominently featured in a recent Physics World article titled "Return to Helgoland: Celebrating 100 Years of Quantum Mechanics." The piece delves into the significant advancements in quantum science since its inception, with Rey's work highlighted as a pivotal contribution to the field.

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.

On September 19th 2024, the JILA Association of Graduate Students (JAGS) hosted its latest session of the JILA Graduate Student Seminar Series in the JILA Auditorium. This monthly seminar offers colloquium-style presentations by JILA graduate students, highlighting research across various fields in both experimental and theoretical physics.

JILA and NIST Fellow Jun Ye and his team's revolutionary work on nuclear clock technology was recently highlighted in a feature by Scientific American. The article delves into the creation of the world’s first nuclear clock, developed in Boulder, Colorado, which builds upon decades of research into precision timekeeping. Nuclear clocks, which rely on the ticking of atomic nuclei rather than atomic electrons, promise to surpass the precision and accuracy of current atomic clocks, which have set the standard for international timekeeping for decades.
