This project focuses on the development of integrated photonics for quantum sensing and information and nonlinear science applications. We combine advanced
Our research focuses on the use of quantum logic techniques to prepare, control, and measure the rovibrational and electronic states of single trapped molecular
The coherent control of quantum-mechanical systems holds promise for revolutionizing computing. We develop new methods and technologies to improve the fidelity
Quantum networks, a promising resource for computing and sensing, generate useful entanglement between locations separated by geographic distances. Our research
We use magnetic and electric fields in a Penning trap to confine two-dimensional Coulomb crystals of ions. We can perform quantum simulations of many-body spin
We are developing advanced-packaging techniques to combine photonics and electronics in support of continued scaling in digital systems. Our research focuses on
The NIST Time Measurement and Analysis Service (TMAS) was designed to serve any organization that is required to maintain an accurate local time standard. The
NIST is constructing a high-uptime optical frequency reference based on a single trapped Sr + ion. The goal of this project is to provide long-term ≤1x10 -16
The pursuit of fundamental limits in frequency metrology has historically motivated the development of groundbreaking techniques such as laser cooling and spin
