Andrew C. Wilson
Physicist
I am a staff physicist in the Ion Storage Group at NIST Boulder. My research focuses on quantum-information experiments with trapped atomic ions. High-fidelity coherent control of ions is used to explore applications of quantum entanglement including quantum logic and computing, quantum simulation, and quantum-enhanced precision measurement. A major emphasis of my research is the development of techniques and tools that will be needed in large-scale, fault-tolerant, quantum-information processors. Before working with trapped ions at NIST, my research focused on Bose-Einstein condensates, quantum degenerate Fermi gases, and precision laser spectroscopy of neutral atoms and molecules.
Within the Ion Storage Group, I work closely with Staff Physicists Dietrich Leibfried and Daniel Slichter, and a large team of postdocs and graduate students. If you are interested in joining our research team, please contact me.
