Atomic Devices and Instrumentation with Laser-Cooled Atoms

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

The combination of laser-cooled atoms and precision spectroscopy enables highly precise instruments and sensors that are also fundamentally accurate. Our group specializes in designing these systems to be compact and ultimately transportable. Precision spectroscopy experiments in our labs have applications to clocks, inertial sensors, and tests of relativity and fundamental interactions. Two main project areas are (1) cold-atom coherent population trapping with application to accurate clocks and (2) atom interferometry experiment...

Kitching, Phone: 303.497.4083Grantor Emailjohn.kitching@nist.govOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
