The Jimenez and Stevens labs at CU Boulder joined forces to build a state-of-the-art quantum optics laboratory with the goal of understanding why, globally, some labs have found a signal showing entangled photons being absorbed in two-photon absorption, while others haven't.
For his remarkable contributions to the understanding of light-matter interactions in the quantum regime through ultra-precision control and measurements, Professor Ye (JILA; Physics; CUbit Quantum Initiative; Q-SEnSE) has been awarded the Julius Springer Prize for Applied Physics.
Theorists in the Rey Group and experimentalists in the Thompson laboratory at CU Boulder have proposed a way to engineer a quantum simulator of superconductivity that can measure phenomena so far inaccessible in real materials. Their findings were recently published in Physical Review Letters.
“Phil has a great combination of enthusiasm and energy, scientific vision, technical competence and academic-industry relationship expertise,” said CUbit Director Jun Ye. Makotyn will work with Ye to set the strategic direction of the initiative.
Colorado, specifically, the Denver-Boulder area, is putting its stamp on the quantum realm. The area sports decades of research expertise, a pipeline of talent and a roster of ambitious companies aiming to make waves.
JILA is the host of multiple centers within its campus, including the CUbit Quantum Initiative and the NSF-funded Q-SEnSE. Each center focuses on specific topics to advance knowledge, education and research on some of the biggest ideas within physics.
The podcast offers a behind-the-curtain look at some of the most ground-breaking innovations emanating from the CU Boulder campus. The first two episodes feature interviews with physicists and JILA Fellows Jun Ye and Margaret Murnane.
By compressing molecular gas molecules into a stack of pancake-shaped arrays, the Rey and Ye groups at JILA can explore the exciting many-body phenomena that occur once molecules are brought to quantum degeneracy.
Boulder-based ColdQuanta today announced that Caruso has joined its team as executive chairman and interim CEO. The fast-growing startup is focused on Cold Atom Quantum Technology, a scalable, versatile and commercially viable area of quantum tech.
For scientists at JILA, a quantum internet is a way to resolve security threats. Essentially, a quantum internet connects different quantum computers or users into a network to achieve coordinated quantum tasks.
