Hidetoshi Katori and Jun Ye received the prize: For their groundbreaking achievements in precision quantum measurements, in particular for the development of extremely stable and accurate optical atomic clocks.

The High Amplification Laser pressure Optic (HALO) was developed by NIST to measure kilo-watts of laser power with best-in-class accuracy. Here, optical power is determined by measuring the force a laser beam exerts when it is reflected by the HALO’s...

Ye is one of approximately 6,400 researchers across 21 fields and of 179 physicists awarded in 2020.

A joint second place prize between Amit and Dr. Shuo Sun from UC Boulder.

For contributions using quantum properties of light and matter for applications ranging from extremely sensitive sensors to quantum information processing.

For contributions using quantum properties of light for optical metrology, communication, and biosensing beyond classical limits.

For pioneering contributions to quantum science, particularly quantum control and measurement of mechanical oscillators, and sub-quantum limited measurement with applications to dark matter searches.

This International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) Letter of Appreciation recognizes Ralph Richter for his outstanding contribution and leadership in the revision of OIML R 117 ( Dynamic measuring systems for liquids other than water), the...

Election to the ASPE College of Fellows is a highly prestigious honor that is intended to recognize and honor those exceptional members of the Society who have made outstanding contributions to the art and practice of Precision Engineering through...

For significant contributions to the field of state-of-the-art atomic clocks and precision tests of fundamental physics.

June Lau of NIST, Yimea Zhu of Brookhaven National Lab, and Chunguang Jing, Eric Montgomery, Yubin Zhao, Wade Rush, Ao Liu, and Ilya Ponomarev of Euclid Labs are recognized for a relatively inexpensive pulsing device that converts an existing...

For novel developments in neutron radiography and tomography.

For contributions to the understanding, design, & control of quantum many-body atomic, molecular, & optical systems & their applications to phase transitions, entanglement generation & propagation, synthetic magnetism, & quantum memory & simulation.

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

IOP trusted reviewer status acknowledges that you have demonstrated a high level of peer review competence, with the ability to critique scientific literature to an excellent standard.

The team is being recognized “for the development of an optical atomic clock architecture that leverages microfabricated photonic components, leading to a vast reduction in size, weight, and power for next generation applications in timing...

For elucidating the physics of probe-sample interactions in scanning electron and atomic force microscopes for enabling accurate metrology of nanostructures to meet nanoelectronics manufacturing demands.

John H. Lehman is the 2020 recipient in recognition of the development of innovative tools for laser power and energy measurements spanning ultraviolet to THz wavelengths and from sub-microWatt to multi-kiloWatt power levels.

The ONR YIP was awarded to Adam Kaufman to fund research (540k over three years) in creating entangled systems of atoms for quantum metrology and quantum information.

For her work on the Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP).

In addition to the Arthur S. Flemming awards given annually to midcareer federal employees, William D. Phillips, a physicist in NIST’s Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML), received the fourth annual Katharine B. Gebbie Lifetime Achievement Award...
