For his remarkable contributions to the understanding of light-matter interactions in the quantum regime through ultra-precision control and measurements, Professor Ye (JILA; Physics; CUbit Quantum Initiative; Q-SEnSE) has been awarded the Julius Springer Prize for Applied Physics.
Theorists in the Rey Group and experimentalists in the Thompson laboratory at CU Boulder have proposed a way to engineer a quantum simulator of superconductivity that can measure phenomena so far inaccessible in real materials. Their findings were recently published in Physical Review Letters.
Bennett’s focus is on informal physics education, studying participants in the Partnerships for Informal Science Education in the Community (PISEC) as well supporting institutions. He also leads the JILA Physics Frontier Center's outreach initiative and serves as director of education for Q-SEnSE.

The tremendous scientific opportunities presented by ultracold molecules have driven rapid progress in both the assembly of diatomic molecules from ultracold atoms and the direct cooling of diatomic and polyatomic molecules. Diatomic species have been magneto-optically trapped and sub-Doppler cooled and their collisions have been studied in several experimental systems, including magnetic traps and merged optical tweezers.
In this talk, John Doyle of Harvard will discuss some of the past experiments that brought us to this point, and the challenges and scientific opportunities with the laser cooling of polyatomic molecules. Results on SrOH, YbOH, CaOH and CaOCH3 will be discussed, as well as preliminary work on more complex species.
