Awards

For his groundbreaking experiments that opened the way to quantum computing and quantum metrology with trapped ions.

Perkins was elected for his pioneering advances in high-resolution studies of single biological molecules.

For pioneering the development of semiconductor quantum dot optical materials and device structures for solid-state quantum optics.

Ye’s award, which recognizes his work in both precision measurement and quantum control, highlights the increasingly important connections between precision measurement and quantum state control, from which future quantum technologies will grow.

For the development of precision measurement techniques, in particular for atomic mass and for measurements with atomic ensembles beyond the standard quantum limit.

Richard Mirin is recognized for outstanding contributions to semiconductor quantum dot devices and quantum optics by the Optical Society of America.

For achievements in infrared optical property measurement and standards.
