With the help of a recent NSF grant, Professor Scott Diddams is collaborating with physicists from NIST and NOAA to advance geodesy鈥攖he study of accurately measuring Earth鈥檚 geometric shape, orientation in space and gravity field鈥攖hrough the use of quantum sensors.

In this video, Ana Maria Rey (Physics, JILA, NIST) discusses how her team at Q-SEnSE (an NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institute led by CU Boulder) is working to harness the unique capabilities of the quantum world to develop sensors 鈥渨e would have never imagined we could build.鈥�

At the annual presentation, Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation and Dean of the Institutes Massimo Ruzzene outlined key activities, insights and aspirations from the university鈥檚 research and innovation enterprise, including CU Boulder鈥檚 CUbit Quantum Initiative.

On Oct. 20, while touring JILA and various labs, Bennet celebrated an announcement by Gov. Jared Polis that the U.S. Department of Commerce had designated Colorado鈥檚 Elevate Quantum consortium a Regional Technology Hub for Quantum Information Technology (QIT).

As executive director, Sternberg will work with CUbit leadership to set the strategic direction of the initiative, coordinate with CUbit researchers to pursue and capture large-scale research opportunities, and broadly support the translation of quantum research to operations through networks of industry partners.

CU Boulder鈥檚 Dennis Perepelitsa and colleagues at CERN have developed a new method for measuring how fast the tau particle wobbles. Their work opens an entirely new and important path toward the tenfold improvement in precision needed to test Standard Model predictions.

In a new Physics Magazine article, JILA graduate student Jarrod Reilly was highlighted for developing a framework that optimizes the search for the ideal probe state: a special quantum state used in quantum sensors. His work could dramatically increase measurement sensitivity.

Leaders from Colorado鈥檚 quantum ecosystem convened on campus last week to create a roadmap for workforce development in this growing field. Gov. Jared Polis kicked off the event, attended by state legislators, leaders in higher education, industry, government and skill-building organizations.

In partnership with OEDIT, CU Boulder welcomes proposals for translational quantum research seed grants. The goals of the program are to incentivize innovations launched out of the lab and help them along the development path to new programs and businesses. Proposals are due October 31.

Opening new possibilities for quantum sensors, atomic clocks and fundamental physics tests, JILA researchers have developed new ways of entangling the properties of large numbers of particles鈥攁nd measuring them accurately, even in disruptive, noisy environments.
