Awards

Principal Investigators: Lilliam Ambroggio, PhD (CU Anschutz) and Jun Ye, PhD (CU Boulder) Using quantum sensing and advanced laser technologies, this project aims to develop a new breath test to help doctors quickly and safely differentiate between...

For pioneering advances in electro-optic frequency comb technology from ultraviolet to terahertz frequencies for spectroscopy, molecular dynamics, and remote sensing applications

The Rising Stars Collection features notable APL papers by emerging investigators. These papers were identified by the editors and Rising Stars Award selection committee as particularly outstanding among the many excellent candidates for the award...

The prize committee selected the winners “for the development of optical tweezer arrays to realize control of individual atoms for applications in quantum information science, metrology, and molecular physics.”

For developing highly effective methods for uncertainty quantification, and for the evaluation of atomic spectroscopic data and its efficient dissemination through the world’s most reliable atomic databases.

The prize selection committee cited him for “outstanding contributions to the invention and development of the optical lattice clock, which enables precision tests of the fundamental laws of nature.”

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.

As a result of innovation developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and in collaboration with partners in the industry, the flexibility and reduced manufacturing cost of miniature vapor cells have enabled the...
