Kevin C. Cox
Kevin successfully defended his PhD thesis in November 2016 titled "Quantum-Enhanced Measurements with Atoms in Cavities". While at CU, Kevin created conditionally squeezed states using the cycling transition in rubidium 87, in addition to studying applications of superradiant lasers for sensing external fields. Outside of lab, Kevin liked to spend time exploring Colorado with his wife Caitie. Kevin won a prestigious Army Research Lab ENIAC Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship to work with Paul Kunz at the Army Research Lab. He is currently a Quantum Scientist at the Army Research Lab and Fellow of the Quantum Technology Center at the University of Maryland.

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
