Quantum Information Science & Technology

Among the brilliantly technical and creative minds JILA is home to, postdoctoral researcher Jake Higgins applies the best of both worlds to their work in the group of JILA and NIST Fellow and University of Colorado Boulder physics professor Jun Ye. Leveraging their multi-disciplinary background, Higgins is advancing nuclear clock technology.

JILA and NIST Fellow and CU Boulder Physics Professor Jun Ye and his team have been featured in a recent Interesting Engineering article for their work on nuclear clocks using thorium thin films. 

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.

JILA and NIST Fellow and University of Colorado Boulder Physics professor Jun Ye and his research team were recently featured in The Washington Post for a groundbreaking achievement in nuclear clock technology. This advancement brings humanity closer to a new era in timekeeping, with implications that extend from redefining time standards to unlocking new scientific discoveries.
