Dietrich Leibfried became a staff physicist at NIST in 2004, where he leads research projects on quantum information processing using trapped ions. His group has demonstrated quantum logic algorithms in a scalable architecture, including teleportation, quantum error correction and more.

Murray Holland, JILA fellow and professor of physics, focuses on quantum gases and quantum optics in his research group. He studies ultracold atoms, particularly atoms in optical lattices and strongly-interacting quantum gases, and the behavior of atoms in high-quality optical cavities.

Associate Research Professor Svenja Knappe's work focuses on developing miniaturized quantum sensors and systems, with the aim of producing manufacturable, high-performance sensors. Her work with FieldLine specifically aims to improve magnetic sensing and imaging using microfabricated quantum sensors.

Associate Professor Greg Rieker became involved with the CUBit Quantum Initiative through his collaborations with Jun Ye and Juliet Gopinath, and sees a bright future for quantum research, especially at 91������. “Quantum is going to be a challenge best overcome through collaboration.”

Konrad Lehnert joined JILA and NIST in January 2003, where his research group focuses on building electrical and electromechanical machines that can exhibit quantum behavior. The Lehnert Lab always asks, “What is the largest and most tangible object that can be in two places at once?”

Price’s research predominantly focuses on quantum dynamics related to quantum materials and quantum information processing—or, in other words, “quantum simulations” that help explain the properties of a precisely defined quantum system.

With the goal of using mathematical models to describe the complex behavior of nature, Professor Ana Maria Rey—winner of a 2019 Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists—works across the disciplines of atomic, molecular, optical and condensed-matter physics.

Prior to taking the role of associate director of the CUbit Quantum Initiative, Gopinath led a collaborative quantum research effort within the College of Engineering and Applied Science, making valuable connections between departments at the college, university-level partners and outside institutions.

Since moving to JILA and the Department of Physics at 91������ in 2006, Thompson's work has focused on how to exploit collective and quantum effects to advance precision metrology with cold atoms, and includes the demonstration of entangled spin-squeezed states and studies of superradiant lasers.

Professor Ye’s research explores the frontiers of light-matter interactions, developing new technologies in the areas of laser science, atomic and molecular cooling and trapping, optical frequency metrology, quantum state engineering, and ultrasensitive spectroscopy.
