Awards

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

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.

For the development of stable, reproducible, and accurate atomic clocks based on optical lattices, and the use of those clocks to probe fundamental atomic interactions and quantum many-body systems.

Dr. Nesbitt was selected for the Humboldt Foundation Weidereingladung Award based on research conducted as part of his official NIST duties in problems in chemical physics, including detailed studies of catalysis, interactions of molecules with...

The 2017 list focuses on contemporary research achievement: only Highly Cited Papers in science and social sciences journals indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection during the 11-year period 2005-2015 were surveyed.

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...

Ana Maria Rey was named a NIST Fellow in recognition of her world-leading program in quantum theory, her pioneering work in quantum many-body physics, & her continuing powerful collaborations with experimentalists at JILA, NIST, & across the world.

Dodson’s project featured in her talk was the investigation of catalysts in model systems.

The award recognizes international leadership and impact in the organization’s main areas of biological, chemical, and physical sciences.

For his outstanding contributions to the understanding of molecular structures and reactive dynamics by high resolution and single-particle spectroscopic methods.

Fellows Jun Ye and Deborah Jin (1968–2016) have been named Highly Cited Researchers for 2016 by Thomson Reuters. Ye and Jin are two of 110 people in the physics category in this year's list. This is a particularly poignant accolade for JILA, as...

The Lehnert/Regal Quantum Machine Team has already racked up some major accomplishments on the path to these eagerly anticipated 21st century technologies. Their accomplishments include (1) the cooling of a drum made of about 1018 aluminum atoms to...

Jun Ye's research advances the frontier of light-matter interaction and focuses on precision measurement, quantum physics and ultracold matter, optical frequency metrology, and ultrafast science.

The Thomas Reuters website states, "Highly Cited Researchers 2015 represents some of world’s most influential scientific minds. About three thousand researchers earned this distinction by writing the greatest number of reports officially designated...
