Benedikt Hampel Receives Outstanding Research and Service Award
He developed wafer-scale fabrication processes in the BMF/NIST to integrate SNSPDs and photonics into ion traps for high-fidelity qubit state readout for scalable quantum computing platforms and characterized ion trap chips at cryogenic temperatures.
This annual award program highlights CU PREP research faculty who demonstrate exemplary impact in research and a strong commitment to advancing the missions of CU Boulder and NIST.
More Information
Benedikt Hampel is a Research Associate in the Quantum Nanophotonics / Faint Photonics Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, CO and at the Department of Physics of the University of Colorado Boulder. His research interest focuses on Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) for applications in quantum computing, astrophysics, and chemistry. He developed wafer-scale fabrication processes in the Boulder Microfabrication Facility (BMF) at NIST to integrate SNSPDs and photonics into ion traps for high-fidelity qubit state readout for scalable quantum computing platforms and characterized ion trap chips at cryogenic temperatures. Furthermore, he contributed to the development of mid-infrared-optimized single-photon cameras for applications in fields like exoplanet spectroscopy and vibrational spectroscopy by demonstrating a 64-pixel mid-infrared SNSPD array and single-photon detection up to 29 µm wavelength.
