🌟 News🌟 United Nations declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology! ✨I'm extremely proud of this milestone. Thanks to Ghanaian & Mexican Delegation UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 Let's celebrate #Quantum and its impact on #SustainableDevelopment #IYQ2025🎉 quantum2025.org

I have a half-year sabbatical starting in January 2025. Any ideas of what to do along the lines of AMO, Chemical Physics, or PER? Europe would be great. ( I have my salary paid but will be looking for housing funding.)

Big news for CU Boulder 🦬 and the state of Colorado: The U.S. U.S. National Science Foundation has awarded #CUBoulder a $20M grant to launch the National Quantum Nanofab (NQN), a cutting-edge "quantum machine shop" for the 21st century. #Quantum #Nanotech #CUEngineering Read more. ⬇️ bit.ly/3XzmtbM

While each issue of JILA's "Light & Matter" doesn't have a coherent theme, this one is more of a space issue. The cover project features the work of Heather J. Lewandowski and her team!

New arXiv submission from the Ye group! “Dawn of a nuclear clock: frequency ratio of the 229mTh isomeric transition and the 87Sr atomic clock” arxiv.org/abs/2406.18719

University of Colorado is a leading member of Elevate Quantum, which was just named an EDA Tech Hub phase 2 with $41M in funding. This includes a strong quantum education and workforce development component. I am excited to get to work on this. eda.gov/funding/progra…

An updated version of the National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act was released yesterday. It incorporates all the amendments from the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee's markup last November. congress.gov/bill/118th-con…

The next #podcast episode of "Humans of JILA" is about the CUbit Quantum Initiative! Feat CU Boulder 🦬 Chancellor Justin Schwartz, Vice Chancellor for RIO Massimo Ruzzene, CUbit Director Scott Sternberg, CU Boulder Physics profs Heather J. Lewandowski and Scott Diddams! jila.colorado.edu/blog/jila-jour…

It was great to have the opportunity to discuss CU’s quantum education efforts during this visit.

Quantum workforce roadmap for Colorado and the Mountain West was just released. This plan outlines how we will educate and inspire the next-generation quantum workforce. JILA colorado.edu/initiative/cub…

Today, I officially start my third sabbatical! I will spend a good portion of it in Europe. I want to enhance existing collaborations and build new ones, while learning new science in several fields. It is time to refresh and refocus.

To kick off the International Year of #Quantum Science and Technology in 2025, three Colorado universities in collaboration with Elevate Quantum announced today that a new facility for fostering quantum technologies is coming to Colorado! Learn more ➡️ bit.ly/4hgDVYZ

Just started my third sabbatical in the UK. I will be based in Birmingham for the next three months, but hope to do a bit of travel around the UK too.

Our recent work on ion-molecule reactions relevant for astrochemistry was highlighted in C&EN. cen.acs.org/acs-news/meeti… via C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) JILA

Our recent work aiming to get more students involved in the conversation around quantum education and workforce development.

Dr. Benjamin Zwickl and researchers from College of Science at RIT JILA National Institute of Standards and Technology & CU Boulder Physics found that most quantum-related programs are at research-heavy schools and often involve engineering. They also suggest ways to expand access to quantum education arxiv.org/pdf/2505.00104
