Quantum Characterization

Ongoing
The Boulder Cryogenic Quantum Testbed (BCQT) Project implements, develops and openly disseminates standard protocols to reproducibly measure the performance

Quantum Communications and Networks

Ongoing
The Quantum Communication and Networks Project develops quantum devices and studies them for use in quantum communications and networking applications. Our goal

Quantum Computing with Trapped Ions

Ongoing
The coherent control of quantum-mechanical systems holds promise for revolutionizing computing. We develop new methods and technologies to improve the fidelity

Quantum Conductance

Ongoing
Graphene, the two-dimensional honeycomb carbon lattice isolated in 2004, has enabled significant advancement in a variety of subfields in physics due to its

Quantum matter from atomic gases

Ongoing
Measurement. Science is rooted in measurement: it is from measurements, as unified by theory, that understanding is born. Our comprehension of the universe is

Quantum Networking with Trapped Ions

Ongoing
Quantum networks, a promising resource for computing and sensing, generate useful entanglement between locations separated by geographic distances. Our research

Quantum Optical Networks

Ongoing
This program develops new measurement techniques, tests and performance procedures, standards, and best practices to enable industry and government to gain

Quantum Physics Theory

Ongoing
Theoretical work relevant to the determination of values of the fundamental constants, tests of bound-state quantum electrodynamics (QED), and methods of

Quantum Radiometry

Ongoing
The goal of this project is to develop single photon source and detector measurement and calibration capabilities to support the emerging quantum industry and

Quantum Transport Measurements

Ongoing
We are developing the foundational knowledge and measurement infrastructure that will facilitate the use of solid state systems with emergent quantum properties

Quantum Voltage Project

Ongoing
Goal: To develop Josephson voltage standard (JVS) systems to improve the dissemination of primary standards and the accuracy of voltage measurements from DC to

Quantum Waveform Metrology

Ongoing
Practically all measurable physical phenomena are eventually transformed into corresponding electrical representations. The transduction of a signal into its

Radiation Thermometry

Ongoing
Calibration standards for radiation thermometry are disseminated in the form of radiation thermometers, tungsten strip lamps and blackbodies. These disseminated

Radiative Decay of the Neutron

Ongoing
Quantum electrodynamics (QED) predicts that a neutron will decay into a proton, electron and anti-neutrino. A small fraction of the time, this beta-decay

Raman Metrology and Instrumentation

Ongoing
We develop measurement capabilities and protocols to validate and advance the science of Raman spectroscopy and work to establish NIST as a unique resource to
