Dr. Paulina Kuo is a quantum physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States. Her research focuses on experimental quantum information and communications, particularly using photons (particles of light) as quantum bits or “qubits.” This involves creating and manipulating entangled photon pairs, which are a key resource for quantum technologies.
Dr. Kuo has a strong academic background, having earned degrees in physics and materials science from MIT and applied physics from Stanford University. She has held various research positions at NIST and the University of Maryland since 2008. Her work has been published in leading scientific journals and conferences.
NIST offers research opportunities in quantum frequency conversion and other quantum communications topics through the National Research Council Research Associateship Program (NRC RAP). US citizens interested in pursuing postdoctoral research in these areas under Dr. Kuo’s guidance are encouraged to apply through the NRC RAP program.
