Error-Prone Quantum Bits Could Correct Themselves, NIST Physicists Show

December 8, 2020

One of the chief obstacles facing quantum computer designers — correcting the errors that creep into a processor’s calculations — could be overcome with a new

A Billion Tiny Pendulums Could Detect the Universe’s Missing Mass

October 13, 2020

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and their colleagues have proposed a novel method for finding dark matter, the cosmos’s

Quantum Matchmaking: New NIST System Detects Ultra-Faint Communications Signals Using the Principles of Quantum Physics

September 23, 2020

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have devised and demonstrated a system that could dramatically increase the performance

To Tune Up Your Quantum Computer, Better Call an AI Mechanic

March 31, 2020

A high-end race car engine needs all its components tuned and working together precisely to deliver top-quality performance. The same can be said about the

Projects and Programs

Universal Quantum Bus

If quantum computers are ever to be realized, they likely will be made of different types of parts that will need to share information with one another, just

Light-matter interactions in Semiconductor Nanostructures

The quantum optics of light interacting with semiconductor-based nanostructures is being studied to extend concepts of entanglement and coherence in atomic

Single photon measurements: Single Photon Tunneling

We use light created two photons at a time to explore the time needed to cross a barrier. The extreme simultaneity of creation of the two photons allows for

Quantum Many-Body Physics, Quantum Optics, and Quantum Information

The main long-term goals of our theoretical research group are to understand and control large interacting quantum systems, as well as to design and create new
