For outstanding leadership in identifying and implementing safety improvements, and influencing positive change toward safety in PML’s Sensor Science Division.
For pioneering breakthroughs in the nascent field of quantum optomechanics that are providing the practical means to preserve and transfer information across the components of future quantum computing devices
For his breakthrough research in the field of quantum information science for over a decade, enabled by his invention of record-breaking photon detectors.
For the development of a Radiation Pressure Power Meter that enables extremely high continuous laser powers to be measured as the force applied by the laser light reflects from a mirror. And improving on conventional power meters as a truly portable...
Kartik Srinivasan of NIST’s Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) was elected Fellow of the Optical Society (OSA). Dr. Srinivasan received the honor for his outstanding contributions to nanophotonics and quantum optics, including cavity...
For significant contributions to the least squares adjustments of the fundamental constants of nature from experimental data and to the redefinition of the international system of units.
For his wide ranging contributions in using quantum properties of light and matter towards developing applications ranging from extreme sensitivity sensors and transducers to quantum information processing.
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...
Perkins is being recognized for work described as New twists in the molecules of life. In a decade long project, Perkins developed powerful new tools to measure and study individual biomolecules. He then partnered with the biotech industry to develop...
