Dr. Gretchen Campbell has been awarded the 2015 IUPAP Young Scientist Prize for her groundbreaking work in toroidal Bose-Einstein condensates and their application to “atomtronic” circuits. The prize, granted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), recognizes outstanding contributions by early-career scientists in atomic, molecular, and optical physics.
Campbell, a Fellow at the Joint Quantum Institute and National Institute of Standards and Technology, has made significant advancements in the field of quantum physics. Her research focuses on creating and manipulating toroidal Bose-Einstein condensates, which are a novel state of matter that could lead to the development of new quantum technologies, such as atomtronic circuits. These circuits, made of ultracold atoms, have the potential to revolutionize fields like quantum computing and precision measurements.
