The CUbit Update - August 2024
Top Quantum Stories
CUbit Quantum Initiative featured in "Humans of JILA" podcast
In the episode, Chancellor Justin Schwartz and Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation Massimo Ruzzene share their vision for CUbit's role in positioning Colorado as an international quantum science and technology hub, and Executive Director Scott Sternberg offers insights into CUbit's strategic direction.
A 3D ion magnet, the new experimental frontier for quantum information processing
Physicists from India, Austria and the USA—including JILA Fellow Ana Maria Rey, along with NIST scientists Allison Carter and John Bollinger—have proposed a method of tweaking the electric fields that trap ions to create stable, multilayered structures, opening up exciting new possibilities for future quantum technologies.
JILA Fellow Adam Kaufman awarded prestigious Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation grant
The prestigious five-year, $1.25M grant will support Kaufman's innovative research on many-electron systems, mainly using ultracold atoms in optical lattices to simulate the Hubbard model—a fundamental framework for understanding complex phenomena like superconductivity and magnetism.
Meet the JILA postdoc and graduate student leading the charge in a multi-million-dollar NASA-funded quantum sensing project
Learn how postdoctoral Research Associate Catie LeDesma and graduate student Kendall Mehling are combining machine learning with atom interferometry to create the next generation of quantum sensors, which will have major implications in disciplines as diverse as satellite navigation and measuring Earth’s composition.
