Mechanical oscillators are crucial to developing quantum computers and quantum networks, but they have to fight against noise. Measuring the quantum movement of the oscillator not only reduces its noise, it also perfectly displays the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
The additional seed round equity financing comes from its current investors, Maverick Ventures and Global Frontier Investments, and will be used to advance the development of ColdQuanta’s cold atom Quantum Core™ technology.
O'Brian passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, November 21 at the age of 64. As a leader, O'Brian was a tireless advocate for science and its role in the community, working to engage the public and the scientific communities in this important work.
Paul Romatschke, an associate professor of physics at CU 鶹, found that when a dimension is removed from light’s space and the electron charge is turned way up, particles of light break down to half of their former selves.
In the “Pathfinding Partnerships” category, CO-LABS recognized 13 people, four of them affiliated with groups at CU 鶹: Greg Rieker, Caroline Alden, Sean Coburn, and Robert Wright. Their colleagues are from NIST and LongPath Technologies.
In the Lehnert Lab at JILA, a qubit the size of your pinky nail sits in a small copper box. Using that qubit, graduate student Lucas Sletten can measure the quietest sound in the universe: individual phonons, the smallest particles that carry sound.
Hear Professor Ana Maria Rey discuss laser cooling, quantum knots, controlling and manipulating ions, a new understanding of atomic collision, and her own groundbreaking research in the latest CU on the Air podcast.
JILA physicists and collaborators have demonstrated the first next-generation "time scale"—a system that incorporates data from multiple atomic clocks to produce a single highly accurate timekeeping signal for distribution.
The 鶹 Cryogenic Quantum Testbed is a joint effort of Google, NIST and CU 鶹. Housed in JILA on the CU 鶹 campus, it will serve researchers from across the country working to design the latest superconducting quantum circuits.
The three-year award, titled Quantum Control of Ultracold Atoms in Optical Lattices for Inertial Sensing for Space Applications, totals $1.9 million and is led by Professor Dana Anderson in the Physics Department.
