For pioneering development of superconducting single-photon detectors with applications to quantum communications and quantum computing.

For the pioneering development of high-quantum-efficiency photon detectors and of number-resolving photon detectors.

For pushing the frontiers of quantum physics through pioneering new devices that detect and count single particles of light, and for serving the community through professional leadership, mentoring students, etc.

Sae Woo Nam’s team at NIST is honored for a landmark experiment which, in conjunction with related results elsewhere, put to rest a debate about the nature of quantum reality that has persisted for eight decades. The dispute, first raised by Albert...

Adam McCaughan and Varun Verma have both been awarded the Nancy Grace Roman Technology Fellowship in Astrophysics in 2017.

The Paul Ehrenfest Best Paper Award for Quantum Foundations for the year 2015 was awarded jointly to three publications by groups at the TU Delft (The Netherlands), the Austrian Academy of Sciences (Austria) and the National Institute of Standards...

Sae Woo Nam is recognized for seminal contributions to the development of superconducting single-photon detectors and photon-number-resolving detectors and their use in quantum optics experiments by the Optical Society of America.

He's harnessed the bizarre quantum world and made it do his bidding. A century after the discovery of quantum mechanics, physicists are still unsure what to make of it, but they are making things with it--machines that capitalize on particles'...
