Optical Atomic Clocks Based on Laser-Cooled Neutral Atoms

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

Our research focuses on the development of optical atomic clocks based on neutral atoms. Optical clocks have recently demonstrated unprecedented precision, finding applications in quantum metrology, tests of fundamental physics, searches for dark matter, and advanced communication, navigation, and synchronization systems. Our current research includes multiple efforts. The first is the ytterbium optical lattice clock, based on high-resolution optical spectroscopy of ultracold ytterbium confined in an optical lattice. This experim...

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.
